I’m Carolyn Kellogg, Books editor of the L.A. Times with this week’s books newsletter. CRITICS PICKSThis week the entire Sunday Calendar section is taken up with critics picks for the year in film, television, theater, music, art — and books. Seven of our Critics at Large shared with us their favorite reads of 2017. If you have a choice between spending 18 hours on a Vietnam War documentary or reading Yang’s book — read Yang’s book.
