the last book I ever read (A Little Life: A Novel by Hanya Yanagihara, excerpt seven)

from A Little Life: A Novel by Hanya Yanagihara:

It’s often the most naturally intelligent students who have the most difficult time in their first year—law school, particularly the first year of law school, is really not a place where creativity, abstract thought, and imagination are rewarded. In this way, I often think—based upon what I’ve heard, not what I know firsthand—that it’s a bit like art school.
