Dua Lipa on A Little Life: ‘It challenged everything I thought I knew about love'
In this guest post, singer-songwriter Dua Lipa explains why Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life does exactly what great literature is supposed to do
Hanya Yanagihara’s deft depiction of heartbreak becomes a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the limits of human endurance
By degrees, an enigmatic, brilliant and terrifyingly talented litigator becomes an increasingly broken man. Despite his successful career, his mind and body remain deeply scarred by an unspeakable childhood. He becomes progressively more haunted by what he suspects is a history of trauma he cannot overcome, and that he fears will define his life forever.
