Description
Winner of the 2022 Mary McCarthy
Prize in Short Fiction, selected by Susan Minot.
The nine
stories in The Book of Disbelieving open portals to fabulist worlds and
magical objects: a village built on the back of a whale, a holiday that
requires literal leaps of faith, a tower that houses an entire civilization, a
diary that blurs the line between imagination and memory. The worlds Morse
creates are fantastical, but the challenges his characters face are grounded in
reality, calling into question issues of love, memory, and the subjectivity of
experience. Steeped in the existential crises of our era, The Book of
Disbelieving is a wondrous collection of fables and lore.
