![]() ![]() ![]() So, being captains of our own destiny, we decided we were allowed to pick 20. You may be shocked to learn that we had a hard time deciding on 10. ![]() We have now reached the eighth and most difficult list in our series: the very best novels written and published in English between 20. We began with the best debut novels, the best short story collections, the best poetry collections, the best memoirs, the best essay collections, the best (other) nonfiction, and the best translated novels of the decade. We will do this, of course, by means of a variety of lists. So, as is our hallowed duty as a literary and culture website-though with full awareness of the potentially fruitless and endlessly contestable nature of the task-in the coming weeks, we’ll be taking a look at the best and most important (these being not always the same) books of the decade that was. We’ll take our silver linings where we can. It’s been a difficult, anxiety-provoking, morally compromised decade, but at least it’s been populated by some damn fine literature. Friends, it’s true: the end of the decade approaches. ![]()
