This bibliography of noteworthy Mennonite literature-related books published between 2015 and August 2019, is organized by genre. It shows that the field maintains a steady momentum, averaging at least two books every three months, with a good mix of established and newer authors producing work. The bibliography is not comprehensive, but is instead meant to offer readers a snapshot of the field’s recent activity. For a list that attempts to be complete, see the three Mennonite/s writing bibliographies at www.mennonitewriting.org.
