Winner of the 2022 Mary McCarthyPrize in Poetry, selected by Susan Minot. The ninestories in The Book of Disbelieving open portals to fabulist worlds andmagical objects: a village built on the back of a whale, a holiday thatrequires literal leaps of faith, a tower that houses an entire civilization, adiary that blurs the line between imagination and memory. The worlds Morsecreates are fantastical, but the challenges his characters face are grounded inreality, calling into question issues of love, memory, and the subjectivity ofexperience. Steeped in the existential crises of our era, The Book ofDisbelieving is a wondrous collection of fables and lore.
