TOP 10

01

Piranesi
Susanna Clarke
Bloomsbury

Birds are not difficult to understand. Their behaviour tells me what they are thinking. Generally it runs along the lines of: Is this food? Is this? What about this? This might be food. I am almost certain that this is. Or occasionally: It is raining. I do not like it.

02

Earthlings
Sayaka Murata
Grove Press

“Is there anything you want to add, Yuu? Something we should pledge for our marriage?”
Yuu thought a moment, then picked up the pink pen and wrote in small, neat letters:
3) Survive, whatever it takes.

03

Babel
R. F. Kuang
Harper Voyager

They were both shaken by the sudden realisation that they did not belong in this place, that despite their affiliation with the Translation Institute and despite their gowns and pretensions, their bodies were not safe on the streets. They were men at Oxford; they were not Oxford men.

04

Estou feliz que minha mãe morreu
Jennette McCurdy
Simon & Schuster

I don’t like knowing people in the context of things. Oh, that’s the person I work out with. That’s the person I’m in a book club with. That’s the person I did that show with. Because once the context ends, so does the friendship.

05

Moon Witch, Spider King
Marlon James
Hamish Hamilton

Meanwhile, I watch and work up my rage at men, who can be villainous to all, but virtuous to some. Watching them be kind to children should make me think of them as better men, but it make them worse, for no other wicked is more wicked than choosing with who you dole out kindness.

06

Bloodchild
Octavia E. Butler
Headline

I lay against T’Gatoi’s long, velvet underside, sipping from my egg now and then, wondering why my mother denied herself such a harmless pleasure. Less of her hair would be gray if she indulged now and then. The eggs prolonged life, prolonged vigor. My father, who had never refused one in his life, had lived more than twice as long as he should have. And toward the end of his life, when he should have been slowing down, he had married my mother and fathered four children.

07

Conversas entre amigos
Sally Rooney
Faber & Faber

I hated the terrible things I had said to him, I hated what they revealed about me. I wanted him to be cruel now, because I deserved it. I wanted him to say the most vicious things he could think of, or shake me until I couldn’t breathe.

08

A guerra da papoula
R. F. Kuang
Harper Voyager

Children ceased to be children when you put a sword in their hands. When you taught them to fight a war, then you armed them and put them on the front lines, they were not children anymore. They were soldiers.

09

Quando havia lobos
Charlotte McConaghy
Alta Books

My father used to say the world turned wrong when we started separating ourselves from the wild, when we stopped being one with the rest of nature, and sat apart.

Migritude
Shailja Patel
Kaya Press

Why does the word “Islamic” always precede the word “terrorist” when the word “Catholic” never precedes the word “Nazi”? And why has the Catholic Church never excommunicated Hitler?
