J.F. Powers - Book Covers

I am posting a piece tomorrow on J.F. Powers a sort of literary bibliography, biography. I wanted to post all of the cover art for his books I could find. Over the next few months I plan on rereading the canon of his works, in the order they were published and then publishing reviews of each book. A few years ago I wrote a piece called That Elusive Story about his Powers story The Warm Sand haunted me.
