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...

Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing Traitor to the Nation Volume I the Pox Party
by
M T Anderson

I know Octavian Nothing is classified as an historical novel for "young readers," but never while I was reading this book did this cross my mind. Despite the main character's age, the language and story are quite "adult." Beautifully written, excellent plotting and characterization, wonderful narrative. I highly recommend this!

Fine storytelling from Patchett who finds engaging ways to weave together the lives of an opera singer, corporate execs, and a band of hapless terrorists.

The Cripple of Inishmaan
by
Martin McDonagh
John Servilio
, October 05, 2010
McDonagh never ceases to surprise me with his language, his wit, and keen understanding of the human soul. He is the master of catching you off guard, of making you laugh in hysterics one moment and feel pummeled in the next. I read this play because the second in the trilogy, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, is being performed this season at Artists Rep in Portland. Whether read or seen, McDonagh's works are not to be missed!
