Here are my favorite reads for 2018. They are not ordered in any way. I didn’t review all of them, but the ones I did are linked. There are some real standout works there. I wish the Zúñiga and Tizón would be translated into English. Great collections each.

• Largo noviembre de Madrid (Madrid’s Long November) — Juan Eduardo Zúñiga
• Velocidad de los jardines (The Speed of Gardens) — Eloy Tizón
• Cinco horas con Mario (Five Hours with Mario) — Miguel Delibes
• Palea de Gallos (Cockfight) — María Fernanda Ampuero
• The Abominable Mr Seabrook — Joe Ollmann
• The Seawall — Marguerite Duras
• The Sorrow of War — Bao Ninh
• Embers of War: The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America’s Vietnam by Fredrik Logevall
• In a Lonely Place —  Dorothy B. Hughes
