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...

I Have the Right to Destroy Myself
by
Young-ha Kim
C.M. Taylor
, August 11, 2007
With just over one hundred pages in which to lay down his craft, Kim makes every word count. This is an intensely cryptic, yet tender novel.

Motherless Brooklyn
by
Jonathan Lethem
C.M. Taylor
, July 05, 2007
On the strength of this novel alone, it is clear that Jonathan Lethem is irritatingly gifted. What should come across as a gimmicky device (the main character has Tourettes Syndrome and experiences tics throughout the book) actually adds to the story's already strong sense of reality. The weirder things become, the more the reader is compelled to shrug and say, "Truth is stranger than fiction."

Safety Of Objects
by
A M Homes
C.M. Taylor
, July 05, 2007
The stories in this collection feel frighteningly authentic, despite the absurdity of many of their premises. This is A.M. Homes' intelligent comment on the cultural cliche of what lurked just beneath the surface of middle-class suburban family life during the fifties and sixties--re-imagined for the present.
