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 Send You This Cadmium Red
by
John Berger
Sue Bond
, July 30, 2018
A magnificent publication, as you would expect from John Berger and John Christie. Beautiful, imaginative, thoughtful, mind-expanding correspondence between two artists with matching art and book design. This book is rare in all respects.

The Road
by
Cormac McCarthy
Sue Bond
, January 01, 2013
Simple and powerful prose that made me read the novel all the way through in one go. The Road is the first novel of Cormac McCarthy's that I read, and I came to it with my partner's strong recommendations for his other books, particularly Blood Meridian. It is a tough story of the end of human civilisation as we know it, told through the characters of a father and his son, and I was right there with them in the blackened remains and the frightening encounters with other humans mostly stripped bare of their humanity. Absolutely devastating; I will never forget it.

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal
by
Jeanette Winterson
Sue Bond
, January 01, 2012
A revealing and revelatory story of Jeanette Winterson's adoptive life, adoptive mother and father, and her bewildering feelings about her birthmother and the search for her. Reading this helped me understand a little more about my own adoptive life and relationship with my birthmother and birthfamily. Beautifully written with humour and sensitivity and frankness.

The Making of MR Gray's Anatomy: Bodies, Books, Fortune, Fame
by
Ruth Richardson
Sue Bond
, January 01, 2011
Fascinating subject matter, particularly for those interested in the history of medicine, and beautifully written and structured. The author obviously has great sympathy for the human subjects, and creates a wonderful picture of the times in which they lived and worked.
