2021 may have basically been a repeat of 2020 in terms of fulfilled (not) aspirations, but at least I stopped postponing a fair number of works. My top ten for this year:
The Book of Salt - Truong, Monique
Gate of the Sun: Bab Al-Shams - Khoury, Elias
The Motion of Light in Water - Delany, Samuel R.
The Collected Stories of Jean Stafford - Stafford, Jean
Memories of the Future - Krzhizhanovsky, Sigizmund
Traveler of the Century - Neuman, Andrés
Hons and Rebels - Mitford, Jessica
The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings - Paz, Octavio
Dead Souls - Gogol, Nikolai
The Hero and the Crown - McKinley, Robin
