Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
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. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Little Bee

This novel is harrowing and well written, calling attention to the confusing and complicated interplay between international business, dictatorships and immigration; and illuminating the human response to the possible by adding elements of profound grief, mental illness and childhood.

Poetry Home Repair Manual Practical Advice for Beginning Poets
by
Ted Kooser
Katherine L Miller
, November 16, 2011
I've read this book three times now, and each time I learn something new. Ted Kooser wittily acts as a guide to the work of poems with clarity, conciseness and brevity. As a bonus, I've become aware of several poets I had not heard of before through the poems Kooser includes as illustrations and I now follow those poets as they publish.

A Visit from the Goon Squad
by
Jennifer Egan
Katherine L Miller
, September 20, 2011
The complexity of the interconnected stories in this book leads to a suprising sense that realizations are creeping up on you from behind. While Egan's plots are generally engineered with a certain kind of post modern cleverness, the metaphorical development and plot device are more integrated and less noticeable in this novel than in previous ones such as The Keep. There is a sensation present that I identify as markedly Egan-- It is one of the great things about writing--that you may be reading the surface language but absorbing entirely other ideas in other layers. I enjoyed the read and the stories are still circling in my mind a month later.
