Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are.

Talk Talk

Boyle's typical crazy ride takes us on a chase across country and leads to revelations about the inner thoughts of a modern criminal and of the silent but booming world of a deaf person. He reveals hidden layers in the history of linguistics and illustrates how we communicate on many different levels. In this vivid story you subconsciously become aware of the faults of an utterly compassionate character and begin to sympathize, ever so slightly, with the deplorable crook. Talk talk is a fun ride!

The story is far-out, to a level only T.C Boyle can reach. The setting is rich with detail and the characters are both deplorable and lovable...by far my favorite book from one of the best authors of our time.
