My favourite books of the year were all non-fiction, and two of them have
not yet been published in the UK, although they’re on their way, I think:
David Carr’s ‘Night Of The Gun’ (if you only have the time or energy for one
addiction memoir, then this should be it) and Elizabeth McCracken’s
heartbreaking but thoughtful ‘An Exact Replica Of A Figment Of My
Imagination’. But Mark Harris’s ‘Scenes From A Revolution’, the best book
about movies I’ve read, is available somewhere near you now. The best novel
I read this year was Penelope Mortimer’s bleak and exquisite ‘The Pumpkin
Eater’, which was published in 1962.
