New Book of Short Stories
Byu Master Craftsman

THE PRES nee OF
GRACE, by j. F. Powers (Dou-
bleday; $3.50. is a collection
of distinctive short stories
which should add measurably
to the reputation which the
young author gained from a
previous book of stories titled
Prince of Darkness"
MIR. Powers has staked out
a field of writing which might
be described as almost entirely
his own. He writes largely
about Catholic priests, life in
their rectories. some of their
secular and spiritual problems.
Some of his stories have a
vein of subtle humor. Others
have a touch of satire. He
weighs his pastors and curates
as human beings, as well as
men dedicated to a vocation;
men with failings and ambi-
tons who are put to varied
tests as they deal with their
fellows of the cloth and their
congregations. The stories are
neither priggishly pietistic nor
savagely prodding in their ex-
posure of weaknesses

The transition from the pro-

talk to a wise old nun about a

youth and glimpses the glory

Catharine Pollard is the cru
cial figure but one must almost
have known someone like her
real-life counterpart, Dorothy

Miss Gordon does not keep
her steadily in the foreground.
But after all, the book is about
that most mysterious thing,
redeeming grace.
If Miss Gordon asks us to
take the supernatural on faith.

who know wonder when
Bruce's fate will catch UP with
him. Maybe the doctors were

gen tells it in the same re-
freshing style he used in 1.-THE
Southpaw." There is plenty
of humor, much of it strewn
unaware by the narrator,
though Mr.. Harris has wisely
refrained from trying to make
his ballplayer too naive even
with words, too like a Ring
Lardner character. Bruce,
who is fairly dumb and has
no intimate friends on the
club outside of Wiggen, is pa
thetic in his courage.
There is here, as some very
fine writer's have discovered
there often is, a strange kin
ship between humor and
pathos.

that the Mammoths win the

"Conf1dentially," it stinks.
