- catalog abstract ""J. F. Powers, who died in 1999, stands with Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, and Raymond Carver among the authors who have given the short story an unmistakably American cast. In three slim collections of stories, published over a period of some thirty years and brought together here in a single volume for the first time. Powers wrote about many things: baseball and jazz, race riots and lynchings, the Great Depression and the flight to the suburbs. His greatest subject, however - and one that was uniquely his - was the life of priests in Chicago and the Midwest. Powers's thoroughly human priests, who include do-gooders, gladhanders, wheeler-dealers, petty tyrants, and even the odd saint, struggle to keep up with the Joneses in a country unabashedly devoted to consumption."--Jacket.".
