What "A Little Life" wishes it could be.
it's a testemant to my enjoyed exploration the book does that, in spite of my many biases against it and not really hopeful reading it, I still really, really liked it.
For a book that I took as long and poncy exploration of some super elite rich man who is sad, eugh the rich, it isn't something to say I planned to care for. Plus it being written by the rich. Like, even just name is eye-rolling. Still, I can't deny that I think it well worth the read, a good exploration, one to recommend, and one to come back to with age.
Mild comments of it is fucking long and I much preferred the last 2 books (Mother's Milk and At Last) but that's less criticsm and more the writing connects with me better on explorations and characters are harder to enjoy at the start. Still, they do feel necessary to read in whole to fully contextualise and enrichen the later books.
