Have you sampled or read the first two books of Marlon James' trilogy yet? Just curious. I managed to read them both but have yet to meet or chat with someone else who had!

I've read eight of these, amazing overlap given how few contemporary novels I read. So, given that, nice list,.

I doubt it will displace anyone, but I think you would greatly enjoy <i>When Mystical Creatures Attack!</i> (2014) by Kathleen Founds. Do not let its short story award distract from its obvious novelness.

Then there is John Keene's <i>Counternarratives</i> (2015), definitely not a novel, but it might well displace someone.
