I'm always open to stories where a novelist is a central character and for that reason YELLOWFACE by American novelist Rebecca F. Kuang was a complete standout in 2023 for me. Think I'll be hunting down a copy of THE ANNIVERSARY based on your recommendation. It sounds right up my alley.
While not a 2023 release, the book that just blew me away this year was "The Invention Of Morel" by Adolfo Bioy Casares.
Will have to check it out!
Wow! Such passion for books and great writing.

Thanks Glen! I definitely need to read Yellowface. Hope you enjoy The Anniversary :) I also love both books and films about writers.
Films too eh? I'm wondering if you caught the 2021 movie BESTSELLERS starring Michael Caine?
Not yet. I think the last writerly movie I watched was 2017’s Mary Shelley (watched last year). I’ll check it out!
