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.
