Chosen by the esteemed fiction editor of the Atlantic Monthly, the stories in this volume broaden the conversation begun in God: Stories and introduce readers to a diverse world of faith in all its guises. Here are tales rooted in Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Quaker, and Confucian, as well as Jewish and Christian, beliefs. From Raymond Carver to Gabriel Garcia Marquez, from Amy Tan to Hanif Kureishi, this diverse gathering of writers explores the boundaries of faith and ritual in everyday life. In one story, a one-eyed Chinese child learns that all heavens are not the same. In another, a wealthy moneylender finds a relic of the Prophet Muhammad and decides to keep it instead of returning it to its shrine. A father whose son begins to blindly preach the Koran becomes engaged in a fanaticism of his own. With subtlety and surprise, wit and candor, these stories explore issues of faith such as sacrifice, superstition, myth, and disbelief. Together, they form an illuminating prism of the religious experience as it exists today.
