It should be no surprise that there are a lot of reflective pieces out there on the bookish internet, given that we are at the end of a decade. Here are more clever people than I talking about how the bookish landscape over the last ten years:
- Hillary Kelly discusses the rise of women to become titans of literature in the 2010s. (Vulture)
- Leah Schnelbach, Christina Orlando, Natalie Zutter and Renata Sweeney talk about the changes in science fiction and fantasy over the past decade. (TOR)
- Laura Miller tackles the question of what the hell happened in Young Adult fiction in the last ten years. (Slate)
- Are these books, listed by Emily Temple, the books that “defined” the decade? (LitHub)
There are also some interesting pieces of news:
- A rediscovered book by Viktor Frankl is going to be published next year. (Publishers Weekly)
- Peter Derk rounds up far too much evidence that some people really don’t understand The Handmaid’s Tale. (LitReactor)
- I love this piece by Jim Davies, which explores the science and superstition of characters that just refuse to obey their authors. (LitHub)
