Episode notes

Every year, the Economist's culture section reviews hundreds of books. Our correspondence read hundreds more in the course of their work. And rounding out the best of series, we take a look at the best video games of the year.

It is that best-of time of year. We outline the case for our country of the year, after an uncharacteristically easy nomination process. Our correspondents explain their picks for the best books of 2022. And the shortlist of the year’s best games: there are cats, Norse gods and trombones.
