Some are simply reports (see Ottessa Moshfegh’s list, which is the most Ottessa Moshfegh thing ever). NB that not all of them are actually couched as recommendations. This is why I have combed through a number of these roundups and interviews to bring you this treasure box of quarantine reading recommendations.
