In 2015, the Audible Editors named A Little Life Best Fiction Audiobook, and it is one of our Audible Essentials. The transcendent story follows four college friends who move to New York City, buoyed by ambition: Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, an artist; Malcolm, an architect; and, at the center, Jude, a withdrawn, brilliant attorney haunted by an unspeakable past. Through decades of shared and separate lives, Jude’s suffering—and its impact on those who love him—raises questions about the limits of human endurance, the possibility for redemption, and the meaning of friendship.
Audible Studios recognized A Little Life's potential as a truly remarkable listening experience from the moment we read the manuscript. We fought to produce it ourselves, so we could cast a narrator whose powerful performance mirrors the endurance of Yanagihara's broken, beloved characters. Even Oliver Wyman's resilience starts to crack at the end, making A Little Life feel thoroughly alive—and anything but small.

Critic Reviews:
Earphones Award Winner (AudioFile magazine)
Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize
Long-listed for the National Book Award for Fiction
"Oliver Wyman delivers an amazing performance of Hanya Yanagihara's ( The People in the Trees) disturbing new novel… Thanks to Wyman's sensitivity, this introspective examination of male friendship, race, sexuality, and love truly resonates." (AudioFile)
"Yanagihara’s novel can...drive you mad, consume you, and take over your life. Like the axiom of equality, A Little Life feels elemental, irreducible - and, dark and disturbing though it is, there is beauty in it." (The New Yorker)
"Yanagihara has drawn a deeply realized character study that inspires as much as devastates. It’s a life, just like everyone else's, but in Yanagihara’s hands, it’s also tender and large, affecting and transcendent; not a little life at all." (The Washington Post)
Editor's Pick: Best of the Decade
Beautifully painful
"Nothing I say can do A Little Life justice. A Little Life is so painfully beautiful, that I still think about it after coming across the manuscript four years ago. In a word, this literary feat is a masterpiece. The story follows the friendship and love between four boys over the course of 50 years, and whether you want it to or not, it will take over your life entirely. It will shake you to your core. To this day, when I reflect on Hanya Yanagihara’s words, my heart aches–truly aches. I want nothing more than to re-listen to this work, but I don’t think my psyche could take it"—Laura M., Audible Editor
