#78 Book Club: A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

from The Bookcast Club

Send us a Text Message.It's a book club episode! Sarah, Chris, and Alice get together to discuss Hanya Yanagihara's controversial novel, A Little Life. Chris and Alice have both read this before and loved it, and Sarah has read it for the first time. Will she agree with their thoughts on the book? The majority of this episode is spoiler-free, but there is a spoiler section in the latter half. You can use the chapter markers to skip around and avoid the spoilers if you haven't read it. [If your podcast app doesn't have chapter markers enabled: the spoiler section is 35:31-46:36!] Please note that this book is quite graphic and comes with a long list of content warnings. If you are thinking about reading this book yourself and have questions about the content, please feel free to send us a message on social media or email us (although we do generally think if you're at all worried about it, it's best to avoid this one). As mentioned in the episode, we are planning to record a Q&A episode in September! If you have a question for any or all of us (Chris, Sarah, Jenny, or Alice), please send us an email or message us on social media!
