What if I tell you guys to drown yourselves in pain, fluid and raw, and yet assure you that you will be back unscathed, seething in its flames and yet uncannily soothing in its undercurrents? Yes, the pain has that strange ability to be able to coil itself surreptitiously around the misery of our souls and yet soothe us subtly but surely, smarting our hearts and yet treating our souls. Wondering what’s up here? To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara is a heartfelt tale of love and loss, measuring life’s many spectrums.
