  • money as salvation
  • why JB and Malcolm recede in the novel
  • friendship and imagination 
  • Yangihara's own childhood in Hawaii
  • 'My parents thought I might be a cartoonist'
  • rebellion, careers and lax parents
  • New York and restlessness
  • 'I want to live in Asia'
  • Yanagihara on Japan and her Japanese heritage
  • Yanagihara on writing A Little Life
  • readers' response to the novel
  • A Little Life on television?
  • the importance of work
  • Hanya and the future
