24 of the Best New Books Coming Out This Winter

Marlon James is known for winning the Man Booker Prize for his novel A Brief History of Seven Killings, and with Black Leopard, Red Wolf, he brings us another epic story, described by the author himself as an "African Game of Thrones." The first in a trilogy of fantasy novels, the book begins with a missing child. When a tracker who usually works alone joins the effort to find the missing boy, more questions arise than are answered. Lyrically written and drawing from African history and mythology, Black Leopard, Red Wolf will be the book everyone is talking about.
