The Invisible Mourner and Other Stories
by Ken Harvey
Finalist the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
“Ken Harvey’s The Invisible Mourner is a collection with deep compassion toward its wonderfully flawed characters—a mortician grieving the loss of his Catholic priest lover, a woman attempting to rebuild her life after sudden tragedy, a father and husband grappling with fidelity, secrets, and longing. Set against the working class communities around Lynn, MA, Harvey’s stories explore what it means to love, to lose, and to trust in worlds that privilege stoicism and silence.”
—Joanna Luloff, author of Remind Me Again What Happened and The Beach at Galle Road
