A Bigger Life?

Almost exactly five years ago, we discussed Hanya Yanagihara's magnum opus, A Little Life. I still recall that meeting as being especially lively, so I can only imagine the kind of conversational sparks her latest novel, To Paradise, might ignite if we end up putting it on our next reading list, as several of you have suggested. (It's already out in paperback, by the way, but the hardcover edition is six dollars cheaper on Amazon's site.) To whet your appetite (or confirm your distaste for Yanagihara's work), here are reviews from the AtlanticWashington PostNew York Times and New Republic, as well as a profile of the novelist in the latest New Yorker.
