Betrayed by the mercurial partner she had trusted with a shared mortgage and suddenly catapulted into the unknown, Lacey's appetite vanished, 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. She and her characters recall gnostic experiences with animals, close encounters with male anger, grief-driven lust, and the redemptive power of platonic love and of narrative itself. The result is a book of uncommon vulnerability and wisdom, and heartbreaking--and heart-mending--exploration of endings and beginnings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA hybrid work with no beginning or ending, readable from either side, \u003ci\u003eThe Möbius Book \u003c\/i\u003etroubles the line between memory and fiction with an openhearted defense of faith's power, and inherent danger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Lacey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374615406","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44151411671085,"sku":"9780374615406","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_15cadb30-e03d-4377-bf4b-c260b07be839.jpg?v=1757351294","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/the-mzibius-book-9780374615406","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
