A Little Life?? more like A Lot of Strife 😕 | BIG SCARY BOOK CLUB

I finally read the novel everyone is talking about and I have a lot of very unfiltered thoughts. The writing is indisputably great, but was it worth it?? Also, I don't go into much gory detail in this vid but worth checking TWs for this book! Let me know what you thought of it, how you would answer these Qs, and if you have any suggestions for a future Big Scary Book Club book ! Next book: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, vid coming out end of June(ish) vlogs and running stuff on tiktok: @chlojtok goodreads:   / chlo   Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:35 What is A Little Life about? 02:39 Part 1 vs Part 2 - why do you think the author chose to dramatically alter the focus of the narrative in such a way? 04:28 Harold's chapters 06:21 Is it fair to term A Little Life a ‘gay novel’? 08:44 Discuss whether the debate around the novel being exploitative is valid. 13:08 Does Yanagihara’s depiction of a person struggling with the legacy of childhood trauma feel true to life? 14:51 The 'parable to adulthood' 15:55 The novel is very light on any wider specifics such as socio-political or historical events.
