Earlier this week, several editors at The New York Times got together (virtually) 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.)
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:
“The Magician” by Thomas Mann
“Klara and the Sun” by Kazuo Ishiguro
“Razorblade Tears” by S.A. Cosby
“Wayward” by Dana Spiotta
“Dirty Work” by Eyal Press
“Beautiful World, Where Are You” by Sally Rooney
“The Life of the Mind” by Christine Smallwood
“Crossroads” by Jonathan Franzen
