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...

Bunkie Spills
by
Bradley K. Rosen
Adam Strong
, June 22, 2017
Bradley K. Rosen's first novel, Bunkie Spills, is so funny, you might not get at first just how sly of a novelist Mr. Rosen is. Because what Brad is able to do is make us laugh, because there is so much funny in here, in the way he says certain words wrong, how certain ideas just jump out at you as you read this, but one thing you might not see coming is how he takes in the whole essence of being young and being alive. The reason why people do what they do. It's a difficult, messed up world, and in a way it's always been that way. But Brad moves beyond young hedonists doing hedonism, and at the end of this one night of a novel, we feel as changed as Bunkie, aka, Emmit, the narrator feels. It's the most essential book about growing up and making mistakes I have ever read.

Narrow River, Wide Sky: A Memoir
by
Jenny Forrester
Adam Strong
, June 13, 2017
In Jenny Forrester's debut book,Narrow River, Wide Sky, she tackles memoir in a groundbreaking way. Groundbreaking not only in the circular way the book is written, so its' one eternal yarn that stretches out across a life. Ground because of the ground the sky, the river, the flora and fauna of rural Colorado. Ground because the land plays second only to mother and narrator as the main ingredient. Ground because Forrester's narrator tells the tale with both feet firmly on the ground, a tale which is anything but grounded. Forrester, with this book, she changes lives in the telling of the story. She certainly changed mine.
