To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara

5.0

A beautiful exploration of humanity and what it means to find love, to find your own paradise and break from prisons of society’s making or your own to do so. Written memoir-style and letter-style encompassing a timeline from speculative historical fiction to a near future, this book really takes you on a journey, makes you feel what it might mean to hold multiple marginalized and privileged identities in the midst of different versions of our society (which of course reflect a truth within our society). It leaves you unsatisfied in a gripping way, leaving you to think on and imagine for yourself whether characters find their paradise or not. Absolutely brilliant.
