Hanya Yanagihara

Hanya Yanagihara (born September 20, 1974) is an American novelist and travel writer. She grew up in Hawaii.

Yanagihara's A Little Life was published in March 2015, again receiving predominantly favorable reviews, and defying expectations by its editor, Yanagihara's agent, and the author herself that it would not sell well. One notable exception was Daniel Mendelsohn for The New York Review of Books, who sharply critiqued A Little Life′s technical execution, its depictions of violence, which Mendelsohn found ethically and aesthetically gratuitous, and its position with respect to the representation of queer life or issues by a presumed-heterosexual author. Mendelsohn's review prompted a response from Gerald Howard, the book's publisher, in a letter to which Mendelsohn responded in turn. On September 15, 2015, the book was shortlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize for fiction. Yanagihara was also selected as a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award in Fiction for A Little Life.

He was home, and home was Jude.

“Why didn’t you ever love me the way you love him, Willem?” he asked.
He sighed. “Oh, JB,” he said, and sat down next to him on the chilled pavement. “You never needed me as much as he did.” It wasn’t the only reason, he knew, but it was part of it.

“I don’t mean to offend you, Willem,” Kit had said, carefully. “I know you love him. But come on. If he were the love of your life, I’d understand. But this seems extreme to me, to inhibit your career like this.”
And yet he sometimes wondered if he could ever love anyone as much as he loved Jude.
