The best new fiction books of 2022
1. A Time Outside This Time by Amitava Kumar
Satya, a struggling writer, attends an acclaimed artist retreat only to discover that the pressures of the outside world follow him there. The American president is ranting, the world is being ravaged by a virus, and the never-ending news cycle reporting fiction as fact only makes matters worse.
Satya begins to gather ideas for an Orwellian novel set in the post-truth era, a time when it is impossible to recall a previous, different way of operating.
2. Luster by Raven Leilani
Luster is one of the best novels of 2021, and Raven Leilani is a witty and creative new voice in fiction. Her debut novel is a must-read on what it means to be young now, razor-sharp yet surprisingly tender. Edie’s life is in shambles, and no one seems to notice.
Then she meets Eric, a white, middle-aged man with an open marriage and an adopted black daughter who doesn’t have a single person in her life who can instruct her how to style her hair. And, as if things weren’t already difficult enough, Edie finds herself smack dab in the middle of Eric’s family.
3. The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont
Agatha Christie vanished for eleven days in 1926. Her husband’s mistress is the only one who knows the truth about her disappearance.
Agatha Christie’s world is full of glamorous parties with socialites and country house getaways. Nan O’Dea’s world, on the other hand, is much different. Nan has clawed her way back to England — with her sights set on Agatha — after a difficult London background and a life in Ireland marked by tragedy.
Regardless of their disagreements, the two ladies will become unlikely allies. And they’ll uncover a deadly secret that only Nan knows about during Agatha’s inexplicable eleven-day disappearance…
4. The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans
Danielle Evans, who has been dubbed the “finest short-story writer working today” by Roxane Gay, delivers a tremendous punch with each of the pieces in this amazing collection. She expands important events in her characters’ lives or relationships across six short stories and an eye-opening titular novella, allowing for a larger searing study of race, culture, and history.
5. Five Tuesdays in Winter by Lily King
Lily King, the celebrated author of Euphoria, writes about the characters and lives in this collection of short stories with minimalistic grace. A bookseller’s passion for his employee is uncontrollable, a lonely adolescent is cared for by a couple of college students, a girl loses her innocence in an encounter with her employer’s son but develops strength in the aftermath, and a nonagenarian waits distraught by his granddaughter’s hospital bed. These meditations on love are unmissable, spiced with romanticism, honesty, and a dash of the weird.
