Nothing embodies the spirit of the holidays like the movies. This year, we've selected a few books about the masters of the 7th Art. It's time to (re)discover the American Friends of Bertrand Tavernier, the friendship of François Truffaut and Hélène Scott, the genius of André S. Labarthe and Serge Daney, or the against all tides opinions of Pauline Kael.

As the year comes to a close, now is the time to look back at this year’s new fiction and select our favorites. Some won awards, some published to critical acclaim, all of them enchanted us and revived the magic of reading, and we hope they’ll speak to you too!
