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...

Jennifer Egan's ability to turn a story inside out and upside down and run it through a couple of rabbit holes, without so much as letting a little change fall out of the character's pockets, is astounding. I love novels in which unexpected things happen to people, and you get to see them in all of their complexity. And then there's the story, unusual and inventive in its own right. Very adept and entertaining.

Out Stealing Horses

This is a gorgeous book, written in a spare, eloquent style. Although it's not long, the story encompasses several lives and many complicated events. 67 year old Trond, having lost both wife and sister, sets out to live in a remote part of the country, alone. He runs into an acquaintance from his youth, which sets off both recollections of, and ruminations about, the summer he turned 15. It's a coming of age story, an end of life story, and a year everything changed story all rolled into one, set in a magnificent landscape. Read it, it's great.
