The best fiction of 2011?
Every year at the end of the year I put together a list of my favorite books. I divide my choices into fiction and non-fiction titles. I set aside the stack of favorites and when it comes time to choose I usually have to winnow down the piles quite a bit.
If I had to pick my favorite novel of 2011 today my choice would be simple. I would say that my favorite fiction title so far is “The Tiger’s Wife”(Random House) by Tea Obreht. This fabulous book is her first and it is gaining recognition. She just won the prestigious Orange Prize for Fiction. And she is still in her 20’s. There’s another 6 months to go in 2011 but if I had to pick today, that book is my favorite so far.
You can hear my recent interview with the author Sunday morning at 11 on WYSO (91.3fm). You can stream it at www.wyso.org.
