Some of the standouts include Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr!, Marie-Helene Bertino’s Beautyland, and Percival Everett’s James, a phenomenal retelling of Huck Finn that redefines classic American literature as we know it. This is also one of those magical years where the stars align and three of my favorite mystery writers all have books out: Tana French’s The Hunter is one of her best yet, and I can’t wait to read Louisa Luna’s Tell Me Who You Are.

more journalists *should* be thinking about their audience!!!!!!!!! this is a really interesting thread.
