For Jude, openness and surrender are equal to abuse. The closer someone gets, the more difficult it is for him to talk about it. Nevertheless, he finds it impossible to share his past with them. How do you live with trauma and pain? Jude has no family, his friends are everything to him.
He finds release in compulsive automutilation, causing his body to become more and more exhausted. It has left him with extreme distrust and a feeling of worthlessness. Behind the façade of professional success, he lives with unresolved grief as a result of emotional neglect and sexual abuse during his childhood. His past is wrapped in a veil of mystery. The main character is the introverted Jude. They develop their careers in the city where ambition and success are the indicators of a successful life: New York. The story is the history of their friendship, as they remain closely connected with each other during the rest of their lives.
In this worldwide bestseller, we watch four men over a period of more than thirty years: lawyer Jude, actor Willem, visual artist JB and architect Malcolm. No book has captivated and moved millions of readers during the past few years like A little life by American author Hanya Yanagihara.
