This was of course the year Morrissey's "List of the Lost" was published, a shocking and dare I say it deliberate omission from the poll.

Only read The Sellout but I'm skeptical anything here would beat it.

read the Ottessa Moshfegh bcs of reviews; didn't like it, doubt I'll ever read anything else by her.
Ha, this was my exact experience with “my year of rest and relaxation”.
Have only read the sympathizer and the sellout (“the sympathizer and the sellout” sounds like it could be the title of a pretty good novel itself), but loved the former so bored for that.

I've heard a bot about the actual Field of the Cloth of Gold so wonder if the novel is a good narrative of it . Caught a few webinars on it last year, Tudor era revival of the kind of jousting competition from a couple of centuries earlier.
wow this i really recent and still I've only toucheda couple. I remember the announcement and news coverage of the Harper Lee novel being rife.

lol, Mills is definitely using it as a metaphor, the thought of him writing straight historical fiction is quite funny
