The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara
From the Man Booker-longlisted author of A Little Life comes 'a novel you will finish and immediately want to read again' (Sarah Waters).
An absorbing, intelligent and uncompromising novel which beguiles and unnervesThe first memorable novel of 2014 is already here * Independent * Told in the form of a memoir in the voice of the extremely unlikeable Perina, it is impossible to resist being drawn into the mind of this brilliant but depraved man. And to feel a little disturbed at having enjoyed such a strange but brilliantly told story. The book is packed with a symphony of complex themes made accessible by the sheer poetry of the author's prose * Daily Mail * Power and its abuses are at the heart of this beautifully written debut... Striking and highly satisfying. Yanagihara's ambitious debut is one to be lauded. * Guardian * Feels like a National Geographic story by way of Conrad's Heart of Darkness... the world Yanagihara conjures up, full of dark pockets of mystery, is magical. * The Times * Suspenseful... Thanks to Yanagihara's rich, masterly prose, it's hard to turn away... Yanagihara is a writer to marvel at * New York Times * A standout novel, a debut as thrilling as it is disturbing... So exciting... Haunting * Wall Street Journal * Yanagihara's enthralling debut... is at once learned, morally serious and deeply entertaining... In Perina, Yanagihara has created a perverse and spellbinding narrator * San Francisco Chronicle *
Hanya Yanagihara lives in New York City.
