(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...

We Need To Talk About Kevin
by
Lionel Shriver

, January 30, 2007
A very disturbing read, but one I recommend highly to anyone who has ever wondered about their capacity for parenthood. Here's the dark side -- with absolutely nothing held back. Gripping, harrowing, and rings true right to the end. This is not a feel-good book, and it will leave you marked. Shriver has captured the minutiae and the bizarreness of family relationships with searing accuracy. A great one to chew over months later.

The Namesake

, January 30, 2007
Borderline bland and not a chalk to her short stories -- although Lahiri's eye for detail is as sharp as ever, the book otherwise failed to distinguish itself from the masses of other South Asian diaspora lit around. Sadly, yet another "life and times of an ABCD" ... I kept waiting for it to grab me and it never did.
