The New York Times has released its annual list of the year's "notable" books. Three Caribbean-related titles have made their cut: John Edgar Wideman's novel Fanon; Tom Gjelten's Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba; and Patrick French's Naipaul biography The World Is What It Is. No books actually written by Caribbean authors, however.
