LGBTQ Books for Adults

We here at Big Blue Marble remember the days when there were only a handful of “LGB” books, and we each took personal pride in owning most of them. 2024 is an entirely different universe, with a deluge of diverse books, in all genres and formats, documenting lesbian, bisexual, gay, queer, intersex, trans, nonbinary, and something-beyond-labels-we-have lives. This page is a small selection of the best of the newest of these books. Look for our lists of LGBTQ books for kids, middle grade, and YA!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A stunning “portrait of the enduring grace of friendship” (NPR) about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves. A masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE

A Little Life follows four college classmates—broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition—as they move to New York in search of fame and fortune. While their relationships, which are tinged by addiction, success, and pride, deepen over the decades, the men are held together by their devotion to the brilliant, enigmatic Jude, a man scarred by an unspeakable childhood trauma. A hymn to brotherly bonds and a masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century, Hanya Yanagihara’s stunning novel is about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.
