NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST

SHORT-LISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE

Brace yourself for the most astonishing, challenging, upsetting, and profoundly moving book in many a season. An epic about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. Truly an amazement--and a great gift for its readers.

When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome--but that will define his life forever.

In rich and resplendent prose, Yanagihara has fashioned a tragic and transcendent hymn to brotherly love, a masterful depiction of heartbreak, and a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the limits of human endurance.

Compact & soft cap
Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size
Great fall/winter hat if you’re looking for something that’s not too bulky. I wanted for a winter hat that I could just keep in my inside pocket of my winter jacket - problem was the pocket was not very big. I had another knit cap that just did not fit in there. The Danish Endurance beanie fits the bill! Being so thin, it is not my warmest beanie – but gets the job done! It also feels so soft. I bought another in a different color! The hat arrived with a few creases in it. You could steam it, but don’t really notice any wrinkles when you put it on. I wish they made it in a darker gray/charcoal.

Soft but flimsy
Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size
Its soft and warmth is ok, but it feels very thin and a bit flimsy. The knit at the top looks particulary fragile. I think for the price this is still ok value but I do not expected it to last a long time.

Cashmere but far too thin
Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size
The beanie feels soft and genuinely made of cashmere, but the fabric is surprisingly thin — almost transparent when held to the light. It lacks the warmth and structure you’d normally expect from a cashmere item. The design and packaging are pleasant, but the overall impression is disappointing. It’s comfortable to touch yet too delicate to provide real protection against the cold.

Cool hat.
Color: Dark Navy, Size: One Size
This is a nice little hat. Even though it’s really thin, it does seem to keep my head warm. Really haven’t tried it out in the wind yet. But saying that you could put another hat on top of it.
