When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity.
Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome – but that will define his life forever.
'Yanagihara takes you so deeply into the lives and minds of these characters that you struggle to leave them behind' – The Times

Er missen meerdere hoofdstukken van dit boek. Boek is aangrijpend dus dat je hem niet uit kan lezen is meer dan alleen frustrerend.

Unfortunately the book is incomplete. I have 43 minutes left, but can’t listen to it. That can’t also be the true end of the story. As there are more than 250 pages left in the book. So the one star is not for the story it self. But for it being incomplete
