Betrayed by the mercurial partner she had trusted with a shared mortgage and suddenly catapulted into the unknown, Lacey's appetite vanished completely, a visceral reminder of the teenage emaciation that came when she stopped believing in God. Through relationships, travel, reading, and memories of her religious fanaticism, Lacey charts the contours of faith's absence and reemergence. Bending form, she and her characters recall gnostic experiences with animals, close encounters with male anger, griefdriven lust, and the redemptive power of platonic love and narrative itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA hybrid work across fiction and nonfiction with no beginning or ending, \u003ci\u003eThe Möbius Book \u003c\/i\u003etroubles the line between memory and fiction with an openhearted defense of faith's inherent danger.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatherine Lacey\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels\u003ci\u003e Nobody Is Ever Missing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Answers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePew\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBiography of X\u003c\/i\u003e, and the short-story collection \u003ci\u003eCertain American States\u003c\/i\u003e.
