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...

Kind One
by
Hunt, Laird
Elissa Mann
, May 08, 2013
Kind One is very unique and unlike any novel I had previously read involving slavery, class, and injustice in the American south. It covers about 100 years of the happenings and tragedies, told from multiple perspectives. Laird Hunt's writing is dreamlike and poetic, yet also brutally honest in discussing the horrors and redemption of one particular family. Highly recommend!

Paper Towns
by
John Green
Elissa Mann
, March 27, 2013
Entertaining, thought-provoking, often frustrating, John Green's novel sheds light on the high school experience, first love, and growing up. Although the teenage jargon gets to be a bit much and the story drags in parts, Paper Towns is a modern and relevant bildungsroman that is worth a read.

Pieces for the Left Hand: 100 Anecdotes
by
J. Robert Lennon
Elissa Mann
, January 21, 2013
Short stories have always been my favorite, and these ones in particular are gold! Only a page or two long, they are brief, real life stories one might tell to a friend over coffee or to entertain guests at dinner. Many are funny, some are nostalgic, and still others are downright strange. But they are all carefully crafted and wonderfully to the point.
