description: "James Farl Powers was an American novelist and short story writer who often drew his inspiration from developments in the Catholic Church, and was known for his studies of Catholic priests in the Midwest. Although not a priest himself, he is known for having captured a \"clerical idiom\" in postwar North America. His first novel, Morte d'Urban, won the 1963 National Book Award for Fiction."
