With the release of his first novel, Powers reminds readers of the power of novels of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;the book was even more thrilling, thoughtful, and heartbreaking than I ever expected&#8230;.  
While I was very impressed with the way Powers wove his story back and forth through Nelle&#8217;s and Myrtle&#8217;s points of view, the tone of the book is just great and probably my favorite part. Powers&#8217; &#8220;voice&#8221; in the writing reminded me a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Capote Reviewed on Infodad.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Powers’ approach is a fascinating one…Capote in Kansas will be a fine ghost story of the read-by-the-fire-on-a-cold-night type. Powers casts the book as a novel, not a memoir, and this is precisely what gives it its power.”—Infodad.com
