A novel that follows the thread of great North American literature and has come to give new meaning to silence and new worth to emotions.
What price does life have and when does it cease to have value.
To discover that and more, here is Tan poca vida, a story that spans more than three decades of friendship in the lives of four men who grow up together in Manhattan. Four men who must survive failure and success and who, over the years, learn to overcome economic, social, and emotional crises. Four men who share a very peculiar idea of intimacy, a way of being together made of few words and many gestures. Four men whose relationship the author uses to carry out a thorough inquiry into the limits of human nature.
Tan poca vida has become a true literary phenomenon, an unprecedented success on social networks that has been unanimously acclaimed by critics and readers alike. Hanya Yanagihara, its author, has been compared to Jonathan Franzen and Donna Tartt for her ability to masterfully describe the psychology of complex characters and find along the way answers to universal questions. A new and young literary voice that has come to stay.
