![]() ![]() I dont remember if people should expect or demand perfection from a piece of literature. I had this mindset going in to this book and still is after i had finsihed it. It read like it's a person: with all it perfection and imperfection, highs and lows. Also, like a person, not everyone is going to like it as we are all a product of our lived experiences and that informs what we would take away when we experience works of art. As for me, this is the most emotionally affecting book i have read. I do not issue a blanket recommendation for this book especially to people that might have experienced severe abuse. But it is in the quiet moments in the book that i have found solace and give the book much emotional heft.
I'm still talking about A Little Life. It's deeply upsetting, but I think it's a wonderfull story in the end. Hanya Yanagihara schrijft in Een klein leven duidelijk voor haar lezer, ze manipuleert je met perfect getimede overgangen: van feel good naar feel bad en terug. Alle personages hebben maar één eigenschap, het zijn sjablonen. Ergerlijk. En toch weet het boek iets te raken. In the end, her novel is little more than a machine designed to produce negative emotions for the reader to wallow in—unsurprisingly, the very emotions that, in her Kirkus Reviews interview, she listed as the ones she was interested in, the ones she felt men were incapable of expressing: fear, shame, vulnerability. Both the tediousness of A Little Life and, you imagine, the guilty pleasures it holds for some readers are those of a teenaged rap session, that adolescent social ritual par excellence, in which the same crises and hurts are constantly rehearsed. Je kunt je afvragen waarom de mensen rond Jude St. Francis zoveel kunnen houden van iemand die hen steeds weer door de vingers glipt, die zijn geschiedenis verborgen houdt en die een bron is van zorgen en frustraties. Tot je merkt dat je zelf die liefde bent gaan voelen, inclusief de angst die erbij hoort. Het verraadt dat in A Little Life iets wezenlijks wordt aangeraakt. Yanagihara’s success in creating a deeply afflicted protagonist is offset by placing him in a world so unrealized it almost seems allegorical, with characters so flatly drawn they seem more representative of people than the actual thing. This leaves the reader, at the end, wondering if she has been foolish for taking seriously something that was merely a contrivance all along.
