Ein wenig Leben
"Ein wenig Leben" handelt von der lebenslangen Freundschaft zwischen vier Männern in New York, die sich am College kennengelernt haben. Jude St. Francis, brillant und enigmatisch, ist die charismatische Figur im Zentrum der Gruppe - ein aufopfernd liebender und zugleich innerlich zerbrochener Mensch. Immer tiefer werden die Freunde in Judes dunkle, schmerzhafte Welt hineingesogen, deren Ungeheuer nach und nach hervortreten. "Ein wenig Leben" ist ein rauschhaftes, mit kaum fasslicher Dringlichkeit erzähltes Epos über Trauma, menschliche Güte und Freundschaft als wahre Liebe. Es begibt sich an die dunkelsten Orte, an die Literatur sich wagen kann, und bricht dabei immer wieder zum hellen Licht durch.

Zum Paradies
"Ein verstörend großartiges Buch" WDR 3 LesestoffDrei Jahrhunderte, drei Versionen des amerikanischen Experiments, die alle um ein Haus am Washington Square kreisen: In ihrem kühnen neuen Roman - dem ersten seit Ein wenig Leben - verbindet Hanya Yanagihara die Schicksale von drei Menschen zu einer aufwühlenden, einzigartigen Symphonie, deren Motive wiederkehren, nachhallen, einander vertiefen: Krankheit und Therapie, Reichtum und Elend, die gefährliche Selbstgerechtigkeit der Mächtigen, die trügerische Sehnsucht nach dem irdischen Paradies und der Wunsch, jene zu beschützen, die wir lieben. Zum Paradies ist ein Meisterwerk über das, was uns zu Menschen macht: Angst. Liebe. Scham. Bedürfnis. Einsamkeit.
