"Since lockdown days, many of us have given in to sin. Sloth, gluttony, and envy might have sufficed for vice during this time, but there's also been plenty of room for wrath, pride, lust, and greed—the seven deadly sins. So has it similarly been in the literary world.
This roundup of both fiction and non-fiction published during and since 2019 also have behaviors, plots, and people steeped in singular or several of the seven deadly sins. Though some of these are easily shelved (ahem, Mine!), we've been broad in considering others, be it getting too comfortable on vacation as in Rumaan Alam's latest novel, or finding it impossible to let go of things lost and found by your roommate mother, who happens to be a hoarder, in The Library of Lost Things."
