When four college graduates move to New York City to forge their paths, they are broke, adrift, and sustained only by their ambition and deep friendship. There is Willem, the kind and handsome aspiring actor; JB, the quick-witted, fiercely ambitious painter seeking entry into the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and Jude, the withdrawn, brilliant, and enigmatic center of gravity who holds them all together.

Over the decades, their bonds evolve, deepening and darkening under the weight of success, addiction, and pride. Yet their greatest trial—and the ultimate test of their loyalty—is Jude himself. By midlife, Jude is a terrifyingly talented litigator, but also a profoundly broken man, his body and mind deeply scarred by an unspeakable childhood and haunted by a level of trauma he fears he can never escape. A Little Life is an immensely powerful, harrowing, and unforgettable exploration of brotherly love, trauma, and the extreme limits of human endurance.
