(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...

Tinkers
by
Harding, Paul
Dana H.
, January 07, 2011
I moved from New England (where I have lived most of my life) to California, where I had never been before, in September of 2010; I read Tinkers a few months before the move. I had finished graduate school the year before, and had not yet gotten back into my fiction habit; I picked up this book and fell completely under its spell. It reminds me somehow of a cross between Faulkner and Annie Dillard (sorry Mr. Harding - I don't mean to compare or take away from your own style - just an odd thought I had when reading). One of the most rewarding books I have read in a very long time. It has poetic moments, moments when time blurs or stands still, and moments of the utmost clarity. I recommended it it to many friends and will continue to do so.

Great cultural history - from architecture to smoking, movies to popular illustration. A useful reference and entertaining read.
