A new year is here, and with it comes the promise of a fresh crop of fantastic books by Latino authors for you to read. Because of publisher schedules, we mostly know about what’s coming in the first half of the year, and we can say that 2020 is already promising to be a fantastic year for Latino and Latin American writers.

From a magical version of Brooklyn and postcolonial love poems to a horrifying dystopia where eating human flesh is legal and an exhausting 6,000-mile run through colonized lands, these books of 2020 will take you on a journey.
