Maureen Corrigan's favorite books of the year: 10 disparate reads for a hectic 2022

Posted by Martina Birk on Thursday, February 15, 2024

Some years, my best books list falls into a pattern: like a year that's dominated by dystopian fiction or stand-out memoirs. But, as perhaps befits this hectic year, the best books I read in 2022 sprawl all over the place in subject and form. Here are 10 superb titles from 2022:

 

  • Also a Poet: Frank O'Hara, My Father, and Me by Ada Calhoun

  • Constructing a Nervous System: A Memoir by Margo Jefferson

  • The Facemaker by Lindsey Fitzharris

  • The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams by Stacey Schiff

  • Signal Fires: A Novel by Dani Shapiro

  • If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery

  • Foster by Claire Keegan

  • Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart

  • Trust by Hernan Diaz

  • Lucy by the Sea: A Novel by Elizabeth Strout
