Hanya Yanagihara słynne cytaty

„(…) przedmioty się psują i czasami są naprawiane, ale w większości przypadków uświadamiamy sobie, że bez względu na to, co się zniszczyło, życie układa się na nowo, by zrekompensować nam stratę, niekiedy w sposób cudowny.”

„Ale miał wiele lat, by nauczyć się zachowywać własne myśli dla siebie; w odróżnieniu od swoich przyjaciół nauczył się nie dzielić dowodami własnych dziwactw jako sposobem na wyróżnienie się z tłumu, jakkolwiek sam był szczęśliwy i dumny, że oni dzielą się swoimi z nim.”

Hanya Yanagihara: Cytaty po angielsku

“Part of this book is an homage to the way my friends and I live: lives without children, without marriage, lives you rarely see depicted in popular art, unless as a punch line or a tragedy, lives not considered by many to be full, legitimate adulthood. And yet when I was growing up, my parents always had a diversity of friends, some of whom lived different kinds of lives themselves…And they had many friends who had chosen this other path of adulthood, who weren’t married, who didn’t have children, whose lives didn’t resemble their own. So this sort of life never seemed like anything less-than to me. The loneliness of living the life I do comes from the fact that so many people do think it’s a lesser existence, a purgatory of true adulthood.”

On depicting adulthood in A Little Life in “An Interview with Hanya Yanagihara” https://believermag.com/an-interview-with-hanya-yanagihara/ in Believer Magazine (2017 Nov 20)

“One of the things my editor and I did fight about…is the idea of how much a reader can take. To me you get nowhere second guessing how much can a reader stand and how much can she not. What a reader can always tell is when you are holding back for fear of offending them. I wanted there to be something too much about the violence in the book, but I also wanted there to be an exaggeration of everything, an exaggeration of love, of empathy, of pity, of horror. I wanted everything turned up a little too high…”

“In some ways. I do want to do something very different with each book…I think this book is linked to the first but approaches it in a completely different way. The first book was much chillier, more remote. And intentionally so. I don’t think it was a book that anyone loved and I didn’t love it either. It was not a book that was meant to inspire love in the way that I think this one is.”
