For the second year in a row, editors at The New York Times got together for a live taping of the podcast to discuss the Book Review’s list of the year’s 10 Best Books. (If you haven’t seen the list yet and don’t want spoilers before listening, the choices are revealed one by one on the podcast.)
“These are books that we think will endure, that will be looked at and read and consulted and referred to well after the year in which they were named,” says Pamela Paul, the editor of The New York Times Book Review, as part of her introductory remarks about what the editors look for in their selections.
In addition to the 10 Best Books, the editors discuss on this episode some of their favorite works from the year that didn’t make the list. Here are those additional books the editors discuss:
- “Antisocial” by Andrew Marantz
- “The Last Whalers” by Doug Bock Clark
- “The Dutch House” by Ann Patchett
- “Know My Name” by Chanel Miller
- “What You Have Heard Is True” by Carolyn Forché
- “Nothing to See Here” by Kevin Wilson
- “Deaf Republic” by Ilya Kaminsky
- “The Body in Question” by Jill Ciment
- “The Uninhabitable Earth” by David Wallace-Wells
