Unfortunately, in the event, not so "divergent" as I had hoped. So once again Daniel Mendelsohn's "A Striptease Among Pals" to give Yanagihara fans something to chew on. Also, what I've only recently come across, Elif Batuman's "Cultural Comment" which accurately characterizes A Little Life as "a mélange of misery and lifestyle porn" but finds it ultimately more successful than either I or DM did. (I have to pass on an eminent gay writer's opinion that A Little Life is best sped-read as a "gay Gothic novel" … perhaps a wise middle ground.)
