“50 Books” – Flavorwire

50 Books That Define the Past Five Years in Literature – Flavorwire.

Another interesting list from Flavorwire on literature. This one includes my writer-crush Kate Zambreno’s Heroines and Sheila Heti’s How Should A Person Be? (which I obsessively gobbled up in two days, but everyone in the universe still loves to hate), so I forgive some of their weirder inclusions.

Can we just get over Jonathan Franzen already?

Can we appreciate for a minute how many of these texts are multi-genre creative biographies?
