anyway, these are my favorite books of the year. 📖: www.instagram.com/p/DS20BtYEXm...
A photo of me near a window, holding a copy of Trauma Plot by Jamie Hood.A list of my favorite books I read this year:

10. Cane by Jean Toomer • a form-defying, expansive requiem for Black American life.

9. Memorial Days by Geraldine Brooks • a gorgeous reckoning with grief/the only book that made me cry this year.

8. Seascraper by Benjamin Wood • a delicate work of gutting disenchantment.

7. See Now Then by Jamaica Kincaid • a fraught and fierce family tale, uncannily entwined with Greek myth.

6. Pathemata, Or, The Story of My Mouth by Maggie Nelson • a profound yet personal examination of a harrowing medical mystery. 

5. We Do Not Part by Han Kang (translated by E. Yaewon & Paige Aniyah Morris) • a piercing, political, metafictional whirlwind through traumatic histories, intimate connections, and layers of snow.

4. The Tyranny of Faith by Richard Swan • an unmatched sequel in an all-time new favorite fantasy epic, in which a peripheral character claws her way to the forefront.

3. The Mayor of Castro Street by Randy Shilts • a wickedly entertaining, complex, and sensitive biography of not only the trailblazing politician but the community he served.

2. The Intentions of Thunder by Patricia Smith • a well-curated New & Selected collection from a powerful artist. Transcendent, fresh, and daring—give Patricia Smith 40 National Book Awards.

1. Trauma Plot by Jamie Hood • a pitch perfect blend of content & form, equal parts attuned the the literary zeitgeist and wholly personal. This memoir is the real deal—an entrancing, metamorphosing, psychologically rich, sociologically incisive look at what it means to be an imperfect victim.
