A Quiver in the Purlieu

Overview

A book flies away as soon as it's completed, defining a pivotal point in the life-arch of the protagonist. This life-arch also features a banyan tree growing in Canada, a bar in semi-rural U.S.A., a sliver of time in an idyllic, isolated village in India, a bored billionaire playing the stock market, a comic book princess, and an interstellar spaceship journey. And all this takes place in a universe that's ever-expanding.

Editorial Reviews

"This magical novel takes the reader on a remarkable journey that at times made me think of Herman Hesse and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. A fanciful work from a promising author."

-Don Trowden, author of No One Ran to the Altar

"The literary universe expands its depth to make room for Amit Verma's new novel A Quiver in the Purlieu. This book travels from Canada to America to India to outer space and deals in themes as varied and complexly relayed as postcolonial politics, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and even monetary market theory. It channels Italo Calvino by addressing the capital "R" Reader, who is ready to expand their thinking while also having a wildly fun time zigging and zagging through this unpredictable gem!"

-Mike Hilbig, author of Judgment Day & Other White Lies

"Verma has penned a thought provoking and enlightening tale about a young man's epic journey from boy to man.... When we first meet [the protagonist], we find him lost in a chaotic world that is a mystery to him.. we sense that he is grappling with daily life and is doing his best to make sense of the essence of just being.... This was a brilliant read and I take my hat off to Amit Verma for creating such an awe inspiring story."

-Natasha Murray, award winning author of Julia's Baby and 58 Farm End
