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...

Reinhart In Love

Possibly the best novel - and certainly the funniest - to explain what it was like to live in small-town America in the 1950s. The second of four novels in the Reinhart series, which might be the pre-eminent subversive achievement of post-WWII American novelists - starting with Crazy in Berlin in the beginning of the Cold War, Vital Parts which does the remarkable job of making sense of the '60s, and concluding with the delightfully witty and warm Reinhart's Women which is nothing less than a masterwork.

Reinharts Women
by

, May 29, 2007
Witty, warm and wise, this is the fourth and final novel in the Reinhart series, concluding the saga with a funny and delightful capstone to a career accomplishment by one of our very best authors. The novel brings post-WWII vet and failed serial businessman Carlo Reinhart to a philosophical place where he finally gains control over the direction of his life. I recommend starting with Reinhart in Love, the second and funniest book in the series, or Crazy in Berlin, the first and perhaps densest, and leaving this treat for last, as a tasty and satisfying dessert .
