Hudson Reveals Its Best Books of 2022
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow By Gabrielle Zevin Named Book of the Year
East Rutherford, N.J., November 22, 2022– Hudson, a Dufry company and travel experience leader with more than 1,000 stores in airports, commuter hubs, landmarks, and tourist destinations across North America, today announced its Best Books of 2022. Selections were decided by nominations from Hudson team members – from buyers and booksellers and several Hudson executives including Chief Executive Officer Jordi Martin-Consuegra.
After a close contest with Trust, Hernan Diaz’s multigenerational narrative about power and perception, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, the imaginative and expansive novel by Gabrielle Zevin, earned the top spot as Hudson’s Book of The Year.
“It is a book about creative partnership, it is a book about love, it is a riveting story,” said Matt Comito, Hudson’s Director of Books, who urged readers to “Try it.” Justin Hennequant, Hudson’s Vice President of Books, called it, “One of the best friendship/love/creative partner stories I have read.”
Earning the honor of the Best Non-Fiction Book of the Year is Also a Poet: Frank O’Hara, My Father, and Me, Ada Calhoun’s quixotic attempt to finish her father’s biography of the poet Frank O’Hara.
“Our Best Books of 2022 collection once again demonstrates the diverse interests of Hudson’s reading community, including our Indie bookstore friends, and is a great example of why and how curation at Hudson is so broadly inclusive,” said Sara Hinckley, Senior Vice President of Books at Hudson. “From Bird Brother to Book Lovers, we hope there is a little something here for everyone.”
A selection of the Best Books of 2022 will be available in Hudson stores across North America beginning on December 6, 2022.
