E. B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers (Harper, $29) The novel from a celebrated poet, this 800-page work is many things at once: a moving coming-of-age story, an examination of race, and an exploration of American history. Out of curiosity about the secrets in her family, Ailey uncovers stories that trace back to her Native American, Scottish, and enslaved African-American ancestors. 2. Matrix by Lauren Groff (Knopf, $28) If Matrix were written by anyone else, it would be a hard sell. But Lauren Groff has reimagined the life of 12th-century poet Marie de France so that we can’t help but stay with this royal castoff as she’s sent away, at 17, to run a poor church, which she eventually changes into a shelter for women and a challenge to the male-dominated world. 3. Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (Knopf, $28) A robot that has been programmed to be a sickly teenager’s “Artificial Friend,” Klara serves as our eyes on a troubling near future in which technological progress is pushing moral boundaries. But her outsider view allows the author of Remains of the Day, now a Nobel Prize winner, to explore what makes people irreplaceable. 4. Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr (Scribner, $30) Doerr’s first novel since 2014 covers several hundred years—from 1453 Constantinople to a 22nd-century spaceship escaping from Earth. The book runs 640 pages, but without a wasted word. As engaging as a great bedtime story and as readable as Harry Potter, it’s above all a celebration of the human spirit and its power to dream impossible dreams. 1. Which book is written by a poet? A．The Love Songs of W. E. B. Du Bois. B．Matrix. C．Klara and the Sun. D．Cloud Cuckoo
