Good books that came out "recently"?

[Anonymous No.9174009]

What's some nice stuff that got published in the last decade or so? I mean the kind of books that SHOULD be on the best of year lists, but never make it on there because people are too busy putting lesbian historical fiction and Stephen King novels.

Fiction, nonfiction - it doesn't matter.

Welcome to the NHK is a pretty unique and great books, even though the prose is pretty average.

Modern books suck, Bob Dylan won the fucking Nobel price. Everybody just tries to copy Lord of the Rings or Star wars with their shitty genre-fiction bullshit.

have yet to see lesbian historical fiction and stephen king novels make it best of year lists, thats something you completely pulled out of your ideological ass. historical literary fiction is a la mode now than i think it has been in the previous generation or two, but that doesnt mean the books are bad from the get. stephen king novels will show up on best sellers of the year lists but seldom on critical lists, unless the critic is tokenizing him or genre writers like him to show they are not so fussy and pretentious.

my personal recommendation would be a brief history of seven killings. magnificent book

The first prehistoric artefacts we know of are small statues objectifying women.

Knausgaard's wife, Linda Boström Knausgaard, wrote a short novella, with a lot of auto-biographical subtext. It's well worth reading, especially if you have read through all of Knausgaard's statements on her.

I think Timothy Snyder's books on the Holocaust have a chance of becoming some of the more important non-fiction works of the decade.
