Beaut. Donald Morrill
Praise for Beaut
With his debut novel, Donald Morrill shows that prose and poetry can become indistinguishable on the page just as beauty and tragedy are often indistinguishable in our lives. This is a punchy, finely written novel driven by a fierce determination to condense our humanity to the written word.
—Wiley Cash, author of The Last Ballad and
A Land More Kind Than Home
Donald Morrill’s first novel is a compelling meta-narrative of an exposed and broken heart, illusive truth and seductive lies, and how loved ones suffer and benefit from this daily and inevitable symmetry. Jill Lundgrove’s confessions are both elliptical and luminous, and I couldn’t stop reading.
—Darnell Arnoult, author of Sufficient Grace
and Galaxie Wagon
Beaut is as sharp and luminous a novel as I have read this year, a meditation on the terrible beauty and grace of the stories we tell ourselves and the legacies we leave behind.
—Taylor Brown, author of Gods of Howl Mountain
and The River of Kings
Morrill’s debut novel is tenderness wrapped in mystery. Beaut riddles our deepest beliefs about maturity and loyalty, its drive as real as love itself.
—Edie Meidav, author of
Kingdom of the Young and Lola, California
