American author Hanya Yanagihara has created an unusual novel where both the terrible and the joyful are spoken about without excessive pathos and sentimentality. Four friends - talented architect Malcolm, aspiring actor Willem, self-assured artist JB, and brilliant lawyer and mathematician Jude - try to succeed in New York, but it turns out that neither career, nor money, nor fame can cope with the past if it is stronger than life...

The book contains strong language.
