Hanya Yanagihara best books, ranked

Hanya Yanagihara — 2 titles in the rankings, first published between 2015 and 2022. They average 8.0, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note A Little Life follows four friends in New York over decades, but centres on Jude, a brilliant lawyer shaped by severe abuse in childhood. It is long and very harrowing, with sustained depictions of abuse and self-harm, so check the content warnings; readers are deeply divided between those who find it devastatingly moving and those who find it relentless. To Paradise, an ambitious three-part novel, rates lower.
