Collider has published its weekly recommendation of books worth reading over the weekend of 6-7 September 2026, part of an ongoing series highlighting titles that are gaining critical attention or topping bestseller charts. The feature is aimed at readers looking for suggestions from a mix of new releases and acclaimed works, though the accompanying text provided detail on only one of the three picks before veering into unrelated film content.

The highlighted title is "The Disappearers" by Jamaican author Marlon James, best known for his Booker Prize-winning 2015 novel "A Brief History of Seven Killings" and for creating the Channel 4/HBO series "Get Millie Black". Set in 1980s Kingston, the novel follows a gay theatre troupe rehearsing a production of "Fortune and Men's Eyes" who suffer a homophobic attack and respond in different ways. It is James's first Jamaica-set novel since his Booker win, has been longlisted for the 2026 Booker Prize, and draws on the author's own experiences to explore queer life and the intersections of race and sexuality.
