20 best New Zealand books of the 21st century: as chosen by experts.

The article discusses the disappointment of not finding any Australian or New Zealand authors in The New York Times' list of the best books of the 21st century. In response, The Conversation's Books & Ideas team collaborated with local literary experts to create their own list of the top 20 New Zealand books of the century. The list includes titles by well-known authors such as Eleanor Catton and Catherine Chidgey, with three books tying for the most picked. The article also includes the personal picks of the editors, as well as an invitation for readers to share their own choices. [Extracted from the article]
