    A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara - The Heaviest Book I've Ever Read

    I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I work and live today, the Yugambeh language people. I would also like to pay my respects to Elders past and present. TW: This episode discusses themes of sexual violence, suicide, self-harm, mental illness and child loss/grief. Please be mindful of whether these themes are right for you prior to listening. Hi friends! Today I discuss A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara - probably the heaviest and hardest book I've ever read. The energy in this episode is very different to my first, because it is a much more serious and somber novel, however there are some really important things and moving elements that I'm excited to discuss! Let me know how you liked the episode and the book via Instagram @whatimreadingpod :) The article referenced in this episode can be found here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jul/26/hanya-yanagihara-i-wanted-everything-turned-up-a-little-too-high-interview-a-little-life
