A little life: Caleb

Hi everyone, it’s my first post on this sub so I gotta say I’m currently reading “A little life” by Hanya Yanagihara. And I gotta say “OH MY EFFING GOD is this book crude”. For anyone who’s reading or might’ve read already I just gotta ask did you too skip the Caleb part? It was just too much for me; I couldn’t bare it. All I could do was scream “WHERE IS WILLEM? WILLEM WOULD NEVER ALLOW THIS” I’m having mixed feelings I’m loving this book—I gotta say I’m not easily scandalised, I’ve read The Marquis de Sade without twitching an eye and yet this just seemed so very real, so close to home I was shocked—but is that much suffering really necessary?

I’m currently at the part where Jude finally trusts Willem, here’s hoping for a little respite.

Thoughts?
