During An evening with... we talk to an interesting artist about his or her work using video clips and images. In this edition the Hawaiian author Hanya Yanagihara is our guest.

She wrote the bestseller A Little Life. A very intense novel about a close friendship between four men, who do not succeed in banishing the demons from the past, of which Ivo van Hove is directing a theatre adaptation this season.

One of the novel’s sources of inspiration was the large collection of photos Yanagihara has collected since she was 26. ‘Brilliant, magical, masterful, overwhelming and long, but not a page too many’, was the review of the book panel of famous Dutch tv-talkshow DWDD.

Yanagihara will be interviewed by news reporter and presenter Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal, who was the NOS correspondent in the US for years, and is a huge fan of the book.
