1. Black Leopard, Red Wolf 

Author : Marlon James (A History of Seven Killings, John Crow's Devil, The Book of Night Women)
Released on : February 5
Reasons to read : The first novel of Marlon James' new Dark Star Trilogy has been smartly marketed as "an African Game of Thrones" -- only that sells Black Leopard, Red Wolf short on the strength of its incisive prose and its truly magical world-building about the unwieldiness of truth. It wholly makes sense that Michael B. Jordan bought the rights to turn this novel into a movie shortly after its release; it's wrought with striking imagery of typical fantasy staples like witches and giants made new, and a driving plot of shape-shifting mercenaries searching for a murdered child that ends -- or rather, starts -- with the protagonist, Tracker, imprisoned and interrogated over what happened. The rest is an expansive, exciting, exhaustive epic that's only just begun.

2. Star 

Author : Yukio Mishima (Spring Snow, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, Golden Colours)
Released on : April 30
Reasons to read : One of Japan's greatest novelists was also one of its strangest and most badass. Following a life of polarizing nationalism, Yukio Mishima killed himself via ritual suicide following an unsuccessful attempt at a coup d'état by the militia he founded and led (the "Tatenokai," or "shield society") to restore the power of the emperor of Japan -- just two years after he lost out on the Nobel Prize in Literature to his contemporary, Yasunari Kawabata. But that wasn't for lack of daring work. Star, translated from Japanese by Sam Bett, is a strange, avant-garde little novella following a young actor whose portrayals of yakuza in a series of successful films has won him a significant following among Japan's women, along with the kind of attention that could drive any person slowly insane. It's a compelling portrait of celebrity meltdown, and especially potent during an era in which a melted-down celebrity is also ruler of the free world. Time for another coup?

3. The Water Cure 

Author : Sophie Mackintosh
Released on : January 8
Reasons to read : During this dystopian era in which feminism, despite all the brazen societal and governmental efforts to quash it, is thriving in the public sphere, the words "feminist dystopia" should be enough to hook any reader on a book. If they're not, consider that Sophie Mackintosh's debut novel also features: a remote island surrounded by barbed wire; three sisters trained to feel no emotions; a Greek chorus (sort of); a gun to make Chekhov warily proud; and lots of literal toxic masculinity (no, really -- it's literal). This harrowing book manages, somehow, to simultaneously walk the line between fairy tale, coming-of-age tale, and morality tale. It does them all with plenty of intensity, and with muscular prose to boot.

4. Dark Constellations 

Author : Pola Oloixarac (Savage Theories)
Released on : April 16
Reasons to read : Her follow-up to 2017's criminally underrated Savage Theories,Dark Constellations confirms once again that Pola Oloixarac is probably the smartest person in whatever room she's in. Known as the brightest literary voice in Argentina today, Oloixarac has the singular ability to connect seemingly unrelated events across centuries as universal truths about the way the world works, down to its biological level. Dark Constellations, translated from Spanish by Roy Kesey, is broken up into three sections, starting with the field log of a young researcher studying strange plants in the Canary Islands in the 1880s, fast-forwarding 100 years later to a mini-biography of Argentina's first huge anarcho-hacker, and ending in a secret technohub in 2024 with an ethically unpalatable DNA and surveillance experiment called the Estromatoliton project. It's a dense, rewarding novel for those open to an intellectual challenge.

5. Gingerbread

Author : Helen Oyeyemi (What is Not Yours Is Not Yours, Boy, Snow, Bird)
Released on : March 5
Reasons to read : Gingerbread is probably the weirdest book you'll read all year. Helen Oyeyemi's prose pushes and pulls in ways that make every sentence essential; skim too lackadaisically through a paragraph and you probably missed a crucial detail. In this way, Oyeyemi's writing here feels almost refreshingly dangerous while recounting a fantastical, hilarious, and wry story about three generations of Lee women hailing from the nonexistent (according to Google) farmsteaded countryside of Druhástrana, catapulting to Britain, and back. A story within a story (within a story), the novel asks you to trust in its methods -- talking dolls which might also be trees, the suggestion of wealth managing Stormzy, and, of course, the mythic Lee women's gingerbread recipe -- and wholehearted buy-in with few spoilers is absolutely the best approach to this clever reimagined twisting of the Grimm fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel, which is practically unrecognizable in this form. Never without a sinister cloud hanging over it despite its whimsical airiness, Gingerbread is one of the rare finds where the first reading is a head-spinning delight, but a second and third turn would inevitably open the door to the novel's delirious true genius

6. So Much Longing in So Little Space: The Art of Edvard Munch 

Author : Karl Ove Knausgaard (My Struggle)
Released on : March 26
Reasons to read : If you enjoyed (and/or finished) Karl Ove Knausgaard's six-volume solipsistic masterwork, My Struggle, you'll find plenty to love about his treatment of Norway's most celebrated painter, Edvard Munch, best known for his iconic "The Scream." Part art criticism, part biography, part personal essay, So Much Longing is like My Struggle in that it achieves a unique form that never condescends to the reader, while maintaining plenty of erudition in discussing its subject. In looking at Munch's work -- and art, in general -- Knausgaard hopes in part to discover: How does it inspire emotional reactions? Whether or not it's possible to answer that question will seem irrelevant when you're hypnotized reading about the author's feelings about curating an exhibition, or discussing Munch with a contemporary artist.

7. Exhalation: Stories

Author : Ted Chiang (Tower of Babylon, Hell Is the Absence of God)
Released on : May 7
Reasons to read : Ted Chiang has won four Nebula Awards, four Hugo Awards, and four Locus Awards -- the equivalent of four hat tricks in the world of science fiction -- and one of his short stories, "Story of Your Life," was the basis of 2016's Arrival. Much of his work has focused on sentience, free will, and the perennial human quest for the meaning of life, and these nine stories in his new collection Exhalation are no different. Chiang's prose, as always, is taut, and these stories are complex but traffic in clear moral dramas, not fantastical galactic romps, even while the worlds in which they are set are so deeply fleshed out. Chiang traffics in hard sci-fi, not wildly speculative space opera: he prefers tight scientific constraints on his artificial intelligences and fluctuating laws of quantum physics. That gives the lessons these stories hold all the more power.

8. Bowlaway 

Author : Elizabeth McCracken (The Giant's House)
Released on : February 5
Reasons to read : Perhaps single-handedly responsible for getting 21st century book readers to care about the old-timey pastime of candlepin bowling through her new novel, Bowlaway, Elizabeth McCracken spins a yarn over the course of nearly a century about generations of an unconventional matriarch and her small family, and the gossip-prone townspeople around them, who opens a small-town Massachusetts candlepin bowling alley. The novel's deliberate pacing, taking the time to drill down into the minutiae that defines a person, awful as they may be, is its greatest asset, yielding some particularly strange and funny passages.

9. When You Read This 

Author : Mary Adkins
Released on : February 5
Reasons to read : Told exclusively through email exchanges and posts from the platform Dying to Blog, where the terminally ill can, well, blog, When You Read This mostly deals with the eerie modern phenomenon of the digital footprint people leave behind when they die, and who gets what kind of say over complex last wishes. Though mostly exchanges between the deceased's sister and her now-former boss (and his insanely annoying, over-eager intern), Mary Atkins wrings a lot out of seemingly peripheral emails with the wrong people CC'd on it, marketing blasts, and comment threads that actually can say a lot about a person's interests and deepest concerns, and the health of the internet at large. It's an uncanny novel that hits the zeitgeist, while also finding the space to be profoundly sad.

10. Mostly Dead Things

Author : Kristen Arnett (Felt in the Jaw)
Released on : June 4
Reasons to read : Kristen Arnett is the internet's queer librarian folk hero, and Mostly Dead Things, her debut novel, has been anticipated with much salivating and anxious pacing at least since the launch of her debut story collection, Felt In the Jaw, in August 2017, and probably since before that. It's a novel she calls a "lesbian domestic": queer, but not a coming-out story, it deals with a family reeling from the suicide of its patriarch, a messy love triangle in which two of the three wheels are siblings and the third disappeared without a word long ago, and a mother making pornographic art using her late husband's taxidermied animals. Oh, right: its protagonist, Jessa-Lynn, is a hard-drinking Floridian taxidermist. You haven't read anything like it.

11. Last Night In Nuuk

Author : Niviaq Korneliussen
Released on : January 15
Reasons to read : There are exactly zero writers from Greenland, a country with a population the size of New Brunswick, New Jersey, that have become household names in the United States. Try to name one, I dare you. Hopefully that changes with queer, Greenlandic author Niviaq Korneliussen's breakout novel (translated into English by Anna Halager), an absorbing and sad coming-out tale centered around five young adults in the writer's home country's capital city of Nuuk. Korneliussen takes care to make the background of the city, particularly its nightlife and smallness, come alive as her characters grapple with their identities and complicated, entwined relationships, on top of the country's entrenched homophobia and distinct neuroses.

12. Message from the Shadows

Author : Antonio Tabucchi (Indian Nocturne, Requiem, Pereira Declares)
Released on : May 14
Reasons to read : Italian writer and scholar Antonio Tabucchi specialized in the study of Portuguese literature, especially the work of Fernando Pessoa. His prose proves it, buried as it is in saudade, the feeling of deep longing, pervasive melancholy, and aching nostalgia at the absence of something loved profoundly and now lost. (Saudade is particularly characteristic of fado, a form of Portuguese music Tabucchi writes of here in "The Woman of Porto Pim," a story that includes an eel fisherman, a murderer, and a fado singer who are all, of course, the same person.) Tabucchi's stories -- translated from Italian by Martha Cooley, Frances Frenaye, Elizabeth Harris, Tim Parks, Antonio Romani, and Janice M. Thresher, and published posthumously -- drip with this longing and, too, with a dreamlike quality that is tempting to characterize as magic realism. In these stories, the world as we know it and its author's "shadow world" are often indistinguishable -- to the reader's great benefit.

13. Naamah

Author : Sarah Blake (The Guest Book, The Postmistress)
Released on : April 9
Reasons to read : Sarah Blake's Naamah would most succinctly be summed up as a biblical tale, but doing so would be a great disservice to those who'd be turned off by such a description and a total act of sacrilege to those who might gravitate towards it. (For evidence, check out the Goodreads reviews!) As a retelling of Noah and the ark, Naamah discards everything but the skeleton that you might have known about the Old Testament story, turning the parable into a visceral, sexy, and surreal struggle of life aboard a boat with wild animals after God kills the world's population through the Great Flood told entirely from the perspective of Noah's wife, Naamah. Doing away with any ancient pretenses, Blake writes with a thoroughly modern (and feminist) flare -- you won't find any "thou oughts" here. Instead, expect crises of faith written with the same frankness of the sex scenes, an angel kind of abusing its infinite power, and daydreaming asides of God as a being with three penises.

14. Ghost Wall

Author : Sarah Moss (The Tidal Zone, Signs for Lost Children, Bodies of Light)
Released on : January 8
Reasons to read : The novella might be the ideal literary form for the 21st-century attention span. Like a novel, it's got heft and room for development of character; like a short story, it's gripping and forceful in its concision. Sarah Moss, whose last name is almost too on the nose, delivers the best of both worlds in Ghost Wall, a short and unmooring story following Silvie, a 17-year-old girl who is forced by her father, a history fanatic, to go back to the Iron Ages. Figuratively, that is: she must live for a time like a Briton in the pre-Roman era with three college students, an archaeology professor, and her dad. Silvie forages for food in a remote corner of the English countryside and watches as the men of the group adorn a replica of a "ghost wall" (meant to scare the advancing Romans away) with skulls. Her father slides into something resembling madness, or primeval, or both.

15. Optic Nerve

Author : María Gainza
Released on : January 31
Reasons to read : Maria Gainza's first book translated into English from Spanish (by Thomas Bunstead) is a curiously fascinating piece of autofiction, a genre where a writer mines her own life for inspiration without keeping to the factitical restraints of a memoir. Like Gainza, the protagonist here is an art critic also named María from Argentina, but as the author said in an interview with LitHub, the connections mostly end there, aside from a shared grave fear of flying. The loosely connected chapters are like short essays of sharply written art criticism, bringing in real artists, their lives, and their work as they apply to smaller moments in Maria's life. From thinking about Mark Rothko while her husband is in this hospital making friends with a prostitute, to exploring Gustave Courbet’s seascapes in relation to her strange, aimless cousin, each anecdote deftly draws the unassuming connections from art to life.

16.Leaving the Witness

Author: Amber Scorah
Realeased on: June 4
Reasons to read : In her thoughtful, page-turning debut memoir, Scorah gives readers a look at daily life as a Jehovah's Witnesses—the routine, the constant church obligations, the sacrifices she and her husband make for their faith—and as illegal missionaries in China. Exposed to new sights and nonbelievers outside her insular world, she begins to question her faith. Fans of Educated and The Book of Separation itching for a new read about finding freedom and leaving a strict religion, will find much to enjoy.
