Which author would you love to have dinner with?
The author of the book that tore me into pieces with every page, Hanya Yanagihara. A little life gets to be the most grim book I’ve ever read. Nothing seems to get better. You think the next page will bring a little ray of sunshine, then boom you’re balling your eyes out trying to picture whatever traumatic event you just read. It was unbelievably sad. I would love to sit down with Hanya Yanagihara, and understand her thought process… truly get a glimpse of how she managed to come up with a masterpiece that genuinely broke me down but also taught me a lot when it comes to holding out space for people who are battling with intense trauma, and also just understand how one views the world after they’ve gone through intense trauma.
