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...

The Elegance of the Hedgehog
by

There is much more going on behind the door of the concierge, but then aren't concierges rather invisible unless you need them.But everyone in the building also have their secret lives. There is a dying food critic upstairs, a suicidal teenager and a Japanese man who is the one person who really sees them and changes their lives paths. Heartbreaking but also heart warming. This is one of my favorite reads of all times. This may initially seem a woman's read but I was in Powells and saw a man clutch it to his heart with tears in his eyes saying, "It was just so wonderful." You will want to read it again and again.

Haunting, simple and surreal this was my first Murakami reading. After finishing it I rushed back to Powells to buy several more. He is my new favorite author.
