Morte D'Urban (New York Review Books Classics) Morte D'Urban by J.F. Powers


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
In late 2007 I started working on a series of short stories that reflected on some of my experiences growing up Catholic. I started looking for some novels that has similar themes and came across J.F. Powers, who is described as one of the leading Catholic writers of his time. I read this book thinking it would give me some insights on how other writers have done this.



While I found the story of Father Urban interesting and even mildly entertaining, it was very disappointing in that it didn't give me much in terms of what I was looking for in terms of what it meant to be a person of faith.
