(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...

Dear Committee Members

A wonderfully hilarious novel full with the sarcastic rants of Creative Writing and English Professor, Jason Fitger. He is employed at the aptly named Payne University, which is in the throes of budget woes and unfortunate working conditions. A published novelist, Fitger’s creative juices have been squeezed so completely he is left to opine with absurdity and overt honesty within recommendations he turns out for students and colleagues. Among these letters, we learn his honest to a fault musings regarding his students, his life struggles and the drama of inter-department discord within the university. The author, Julie Schumacher, never once uses the same adjective twice. I have not verified this (I leave the verification of this claim to scholars and researchers with much more time on their hands than I can ever reasonably hope for), but her lavish vocabulary is worth five stars alone. You will be sure to be laughing aloud reading this fantastically inventive novel.

Having never heard of, but now being aware of, Bats of the Republic. Its is now on my list of "To Read". Thanks for the many fine suggestions that keep me reading outside of the lane I comfortably reside in.
