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...

Sophies Choice
by

News of William Styron's death brought me back to the first time I read this stunning book, shortly after it was published. Twenty-seven years later, my opinion has not changed: Sophie's Choice is one of the best contemporary American novels.

Truth & Beauty A Friendship
by
Ann Patchett
Roseann
, September 07, 2006
As unwavering in its honesty as Ann Patchett was in her friendship to Lucy Grealy, this loving biography of a friendship lingered with me long after I finished reading it. I was glad I'd read several of Grealy's books, including her memoir, first. She's a real human being to me now.

Tender Bar A Memoir
by
J R Moehringer
Roseann
, August 15, 2006
[a]What a writer J.R. Moehringer is, at once elegant, gritty, and generous, as befits his terrific memoir.[/a] I'd rate it near perfect, but I feel the continuity becomes choppy two-thirds of the way through; I wish the editor had made a few transitions smoother. But I would not hesitate to recommend "The Tender Bar."
