Just reading the NYorker profile of Yanahihara. And I'm wondering why Max keeps mentioning her sexual proclivities? Do we usually read about the subject's preferences for boys or girls? I'm glad to know (I guess) but...why?

I too found this startling! (Though in my case, delightfully/satisfyingly soтАжIs it vulgar to admit IтАЩd always wondered?) I think the justification is probably that queerness is so central to her workтАФdefinitely to her fiction and in a different way to her T.
Agree that it is relevant because it's such a big part of her books or at least of Little Life-- but writer should have made the point that it's relevant in her case, no? Good eye, Val!
