My highlights for early reading this year include the last novel by Gabriel García Márquez, written with and against his suffering from dementia, poet Andrew McMillan’s first novel, a moving exploration of memory and sexuality in the aftermath of industrial decline, Anna Jones’s superb recipes for vegetarians short on time but long on ambition, naturalist Roger Morgan-Grenville’s inspiring account of rewilding in the Sussex Downs and the welcome paperback publication of the legendary diaries of the insufferable snob and irresistible gossip Henry ‘Chips’ Channon.
