The New York Times Book Review has surveyed numerous literary figures to compile its list of the 100 best books of the twenty-first century, highlighting the ever-evolving landscape of literature.
With the passing of notable authors such as Joan Didion and Philip Roth, the list serves as a bittersweet reminder of literary contributions in our time.
James Wood's critique of Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch reflects a broader concern about the shift in literary culture, which some perceive as a decline in depth and maturity.
The diversity of opinions on the list underscores the subjective nature of literary value, reminding us that every reader brings their own perspective to these discussions.
