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.

Art of the Short Story
by

Joyce Boles
, September 07, 2009
At last! An anthology with most of the best, and few of the second-place tie stories from the greatest authors. This book has three of my all-time favorite stories, including "Sonny's Blues," "A Clean Well-Lighted Place," and "A Rose for Emily." The selected stories are the ones that will stand out in readers' minds forever after. Additionally, the comment section is properly limited in length. I recommend this anthology for teachers of the short story at the graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as other readers who want to go back to what they read in the past and savor the stories again.

The nature of such a book has to be pure exploitation. The author must be asked how much of the proceeds he plans to give back to the poor he interviewed.
