The Writer's Choice series features writers writing about books. It is now well into its fifth year [update: ninth year], and I thought it could do with a single, unified index. I have therefore compiled one. It is arranged in alphabetical order of the authors whose works have been discussed in the series. Separate indexes for each of the previous eight years - and arranged, these, in alphabetical order of contributors - may be found at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. In the new index below I give, in turn: author, title of the book discussed (except where it is the author's work more generally that is the subject of the post), and contributor. The link for the relevant post is beneath the author's name or, just occasionally, the title of the book.
