The eleventh apartment had only one closet, but it did have a sliding glass door that opened onto a small balcony, from which he could see a man sitting across the way, outdoors in only a T-shirt and shorts even though it was October, smoking.

Romaani joka kuohutti Amerikkaa.
Ällistyttävä, järkyttävä ja liikuttava kuvaus ystävyydestä, tummasävyinen tutkielma muistin tyranniasta ja inhimillisen sietokyvyn rajoista.
Neljä pennitöntä opiskelutoveria muuttaa New Yorkiin. Komea Willem haluaa näyttelijäksi, sukkela JB taidemaalariksi ja turhautunut Malcolm arkkitehdiksi. Nelikon keskiössä on säkenöivä, salaperäinen Jude, jonka traumaattinen menneisyys ei jätä ystävyksiä rauhaan. Siinä missä rakkaus, menestys ja addiktiot osoittautuvat vuosien mittaan ohimeneviksi ilmiöiksi, pysyttelee Jude sitkeästi kaiken avun ulottumattomissa. Rikkinäisen Juden kujanjuoksua kuvatessaan Yanagiharan kohuttu romaani sukeltaa tummista tummimpiin vesiin, mutta ystävyyden, sen kauneuden ja murheiden, tulkkina se kulkee vakaasti kohti valoa.
