James Farl Powers (1917 - 1999) was a novelist and short-story writer, who won the National Book Award in 1963 for his first novel.

They shared a strong interest in Catholicism. Provenance: from the Powers' estate, and signed in pencil by his daughter, Katherine Powers, who edited a collection of Powers' letters. Fine condition.
