Product Information
A powerful work of visionary literary fiction from the bestselling author of the Man Booker Prize and National Book Award-nominated modern classic, A Little Life . It is 1950 when Norton Perina, a young doctor, embarks on an expedition to a remote Micronesian island in search of a rumored lost tribe. There he encounters a strange group of forest dwellers who appear to have attained a form of immortality that preserves the body but not the mind. Perina uncovers their secret and returns with it to America, where he soon finds great success. But his discovery has come at a terrible cost, not only for the islanders, but for Perina himself. Disquieting yet thrilling, The People in the Trees is an anthropological adventure story with a profound and tragic vision of what happens when cultures collide.

Reviews
"One of the year's best books...Driven by Yanagihara's gorgeously complete imaginary ethnography on the one hand and, on the other, by her brilliantly detestable narrator, this debut novel is compelling on every level--morally, aesthetically, and narratively." -- Publishers Weekly " The People in the Trees is a Nabokovian phantasmagoria, bound to raise serious, interesting, troubling questions. Hanya Yanagihara is a writer to watch." -- Madison Smartt Bell, author of The Color of Night and All Souls' Rising "The People in the Trees is not a first novel like other first novels. This is a big, soaring, old-school, super-absorbing vehicle into another world. It's a mystery story, an ecological parable, a monstrous confession, and a fascinating consideration of moral relativism. Yanagihara's narrator is misanthropic and grotesque, yet simultaneously magnetic; her prose is dazzling; and her book is a triumph of the imagination. --Anthony Doerr, author of Four Seasons in Rome and The Shell Collector "This is an engrossing, beautifully detailed, at times amazing (and shocking) novel, and right up my alley: a far-off and beautiful place in the Pacific, islanders living to their own drumbeat, earnest meddling outsiders, and a sticky outcome--the Fall, with a lot of science and passion behind it, and an impressive debut for Hanya Yanagihara. I loved this book." --Paul Theroux, author of The Lower River and The Great Railway Bazaar , " The People in the Trees is a Nabokovian phantasmagoria, bound to raise serious, interesting, troubling questions. Hanya Yanagihara is a writer to watch." -- Madison Smartt Bell, author of The Color of Night and All Souls' Rising "The People in the Trees is not a first novel like other first novels.

As for Yanagihara, she is a writer to marvel at." -- The New York Times Book Review " The People in the Trees is a haunting story of moral absolutes confounded by a seemingly empirical understanding of the merciless caprices of nature...A standout novel, a debut as thrilling as it is disturbing." -- The Wall Street Journal " The People in the Trees is a multi-layered novel. It provokes discussions about science, morality and our obsession with youth. But it's also a deeply satisfying adventure story with a horrifying conclusion." -- Chicago Tribune "The People in the Trees is flawlessly paced and deeply nuanced--a gorgeous, meaty novel that is spellbinding, scandalous and supremely satisfying." -- BookPage "Yanagihara presents a cautionary tale about what can happen when Western arrogance meets primeval culture." -- Kirkus Reviews "Whether you find yourself to be a champion of Perina's bold ideas or horrified by his actions or--more realistically--feel a measure of both, Yanagihara's twisted, audacious tale is as gripping as they come." -- Bustle.com " The People in the Trees is a Nabokovian phantasmagoria, bound to raise serious, interesting, troubling questions.
