In 2022, there was a lot to make sense of. Our culture team has compiled a list to help you do just that. We enlist the help of all our correspondence to recommend the books that they've most enjoyed this year. And then we put together a list that ranges across styles and topics,. fiction and nonfiction, history, the economy, science and so on.
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. For full access to print, digital and audio editions of
