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...

Zami: A New Spelling of My Name
by
Audre Lorde
frump.burger
, March 14, 2010
A poetic narrative, a brilliantly written "biomythography" that traces the author's coming of age as an artist, woman, woman of color and lesbian in the 1950s. Some of the political stuff is heavy handed, and there was a sexual passage near the end that I just couldn't handle (really, it was too much for me--and not in a good way), but overall the book is more than the story of one women and the women--family, friends, lovers--who shaped her. It's about being different, about finding oneself, and, in a way, about growth.

Double Duce
by

, November 29, 2009
An open, rollicking look at the life of Bay Area punk rockers, anarchists, artists, fuckups, drunks, druggies, and other misfits. Cometbus, a pioneer of the Berkeley, CA, punk and zine scenes, brings freshness and vividness to his story, his characters and the confusing filth they live in.
