亚马逊公布2026年度最佳图书:韩裔作家李敏金移民史诗《American Hagwon》位列第一

亚马逊11月12日公布2026年度最佳图书榜单,韩裔美籍作家李敏金(Min Jin Lee)的新作《American Hagwon》位列第一。亚马逊说,在其编辑团队今年读过的数千本书中,这部讲述雄心、牺牲、移民经历与家庭纽带的多代人小说脱颖而出。李敏金此前以《柏青哥》(Pachinko)闻名,《American Hagwon》是她计划中探讨韩国侨民题材四部曲的又一部作品。
榜单前五名依次为:《American Hagwon》、《Exit Party》(Emily St. John Mandel 著)、《The Vanishing Family: Love, Fate, and the Quest to End Dementia》(Robert Kolker 著)、《Kin》(Tayari Jones 著)与《Fruit Fly》(Josh Silver 著)。亚马逊图书编辑总监 Sarah Gelman 表示,今年的书穿透了远超读书会范围的文化,但团队最放不下的就是李敏金这部非凡而有吸引力的作品;团队对她四部曲下一部的期待本来就很高,而她超出预期。
这份年度榜单除总榜外,还按文学与小说、悬疑与惊悚、爱情、历史、传记与回忆录、读书会、科幻与奇幻、非虚构、烹饪以及按年龄分的儿童图书等类别列出编辑精选,今年新增恐怖类别,另设 Buzzworthy 类别收录读者间最热议的书。
Amazon Names Its Best Books of 2026: Min Jin Lee's Immigrant Epic American Hagwon Takes the No. 1 Spot
Amazon revealed its Best Books of 2026 list on November 12, naming American Hagwon by Korean-American author Min Jin Lee as the No. 1 pick. Out of thousands of books the Amazon Editors read this year, Lee's multigenerational novel about ambition, sacrifice, the immigrant experience, and the bonds between families rose to the top, the company said. Lee, best known for Pachinko, wrote American Hagwon as the next installment in her planned quartet of novels exploring the Korean diaspora.
Rounding out the top five are Exit Party by Emily St. John Mandel, The Vanishing Family: Love, Fate, and the Quest to End Dementia by Robert Kolker, Kin by Tayari Jones, and Fruit Fly by Josh Silver. Sarah Gelman, editorial director of Amazon Books, said this year's books penetrated culture far beyond book clubs, but the one the team cannot stop talking about is Lee's extraordinary and magnetic American Hagwon, and that she exceeded the team's high expectations for the next installment of the quartet.
The Best Books of 2026 list features the Editors' top overall picks alongside favorites across categories including Literature and Fiction, Mystery and Thrillers, Romance and Romantasy, History, Biographies and Memoirs, Book Clubs, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Nonfiction, Cookbooks, and Children's Books by age group. A new Horror category joins the list this year along with Buzzworthy, which celebrates the most talked-about titles among readers.
