The Möbius Book by Catherine Lacey

The Möbius Book by Catherine Lacey

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 by both Vulture and LitHub, Catherine Lacey’s The Möbius Book is a genre-bending story about breaking—both of the heart and of the literary form itself. A hybrid work across fiction and nonfiction, it troubles the line between memory and truth, creating a narrative with no beginning or ending.

A Hybrid Work of Faith, Grief, and Healing

Adrift after a sudden breakup, novelist Catherine Lacey began to catalogue the wreckage of her life and the beauty of her friendships. This practice propagated a work that is both entirely imagined and strangely true. Through relationships, travel, and memories of religious fanaticism, Lacey charts the contours of faith’s absence and reemergence. The book reveals how the body experiences pain, and how we find redemption in platonic love and narrative itself. With an openhearted defense of faith’s inherent danger, this is a profound and emotionally honest journey of self-discovery.
