Description: From a contemporary master of short fiction in the traditions of Raymond Carver, William Maxwell, and Alice Munro comes Believers, a collection of stories and a novella, which introduces people who walk the razor's edge between despair and faith. Among them are the young woman with a sweetly nurturing boyfriend who may have a secret history of violence; the housewife whose upstairs neighbor is either a child-killer or a pathetic fabulist; the man trying to discover the truth about his father, a Catholic priest whose involvement with a sinister wealthy couple toppled him from grace. Unerringly observed and written in prose of transparent beauty, Believers is storytelling at its finest.
