My Ten Most Highly Anticipated Reads of 2022
(in order of publication date, and excluding books I’ve already read as ARCs or manuscripts)
Time Tells: Time by Masha Tupitsyn (delayed from December 14, 2021, Archway Editions)
Plague Diary by Gonçalo M. Tavares (delayed from December 24, 2021, Quattro Books)
How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu (January 18, William Morrow)
They by Kay Dick (February 1, McNally Editions)
Very Cold People by Sarah Manguso (February 8, Hogarth)
Chilean Poet by Alejandro Zambra (February 15, Viking)
The Return of Faraz Ali by Aamina Ahmad (April 5, Riverhead)
50 Things Kate Bush Taught Me About the Universe by Karyna McGlynn (April 5, Sarabande Books)
Things They Lost by Okwiri Oduor (April 12, Scribner)
Our Parent Who Art in Heaven by Garry Craig Powell (April 15, Flame Books)
Note: Agata Pyzik’s 33-1/3 volume about Japan’s Tin Drum has been delayed year after year and probably won’t see publication in 2022 either, but it’s a perennial most-anticipated book for me.
