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...

Townie A Memoir
by
Dubus III, Andre
Steph
, May 26, 2011
“Townie” is a moving meditation on what matters. Dubus explores the meaning we find not only in our relationships with others but also in our relationship with ourself, how who we were remains a foundational piece of who we are. The road to self-awareness is through experience, and Dubus delivers the details. The narrative is not necessarily linear; rather, the story moves the way memory works, drawn toward that which is indelible.

Reconsidering Happiness
by
Sherrie Flick
Steph
, October 18, 2009
This book is a beautiful reflection on how we come to terms with our lives, our loves, and most importantly our relationship to the self. Filled with lush and thoughtful descriptions, Sherrie Flick's writing appeals to all the senses and fully recreates the worlds that her characters inhabit. This novel is a delicate balance of past and present, of hunger and of satiation, of accident and of action. While this novel may be not be a perfect match for readers who prefer strong and linear plot lines, Flick demonstrates her mastery of using the physical landscape to mirror the psychological state of her characters. Reconsidering Happiness speaks loudest in its moments of quiet reflection.
