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?
Some goodies! I love difficult literature.
