Just when you thought most everybody had released their year-end lists, The New York Times comes out with its modestly titled “100 Notable Books of the Year,” and the San Francisco Chronicle breaks out its “Holiday Goodies Between Covers.”
The Times selections, listed in alphabetical order, includes just one graphic novel: Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic.
The Chronicle picks, part “Best of” lists, part gift recommendations, include two graphic novels: Gene Yang’s American Born Chinese (Fiction), and Brian K. Vaughan and Niko Henrichon’s Pride of Baghdad (Science Fiction & Fantasy).
