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...

Life After Life
by
Kate Atkinson
Julie Larios
, October 22, 2014
If you already have a house full of books and you're part of a long-term book club, you probably are accustomed to using your public library for most of your "contemporary fiction" needs. After all, who knows if ten years from now you'll really want to OWN the book, much less whether you'll remember even the basic outlines of the story. Well, Life After Life is a book you will remember and one you'll want to have on your own shelves. It's a keeper, so buy any copy you can find and READ IT! It's a remarkable book, so innovative in terms of its structure! Don't believe reviewers who say it's just like Groundhog Day. Yes, the main character's life begins several times, and sometimes it even goes all the way back to the snowy night in February when she's born, but each "life" plays out differently, and we step onto the path of that life at different points; we only follow the path of that life until - due to fate or choice or karma or ??? - it ends as the darkness falls. The story is beautifully written, too. Amazing book, very readable, very thought-provoking and exciting.

Gin & Bleach
by

, August 04, 2012
After having read Wing's first book (Enter Invisible) and enjoyed her inventive wordplay, I was excited to hear a second book was on its way. Gin and Bleach does not disappoint. The same lively mind is behind each of these new poems, and I share many of them with my own creative writing students to show them how both technical know-how and wit can be part of a modern poet's bag of tricks. I hope to see much more in the future from this wonderful young poet.
