Manil Suri Reading The Age of Shiva

Back


Manil Suri, author of the bestselling novel The Death of Vishnu, reads from his new novel The Age of Shiva. In this new book, India's birth as a new nation parallels a woman's complex psychological journey confronting tradition and modernity. Richly layered with themes from Hindu mythology, The Age of Shiva is at once a powerful story of a country in turmoil and an extraordinary portrait of maternal love. Dr. Suri is a professor of Mathematics at UMBC. "Like Anna Karenina, The Age of Shiva is both intimate and epic, a balance of sensual beauty and visceral reality. Suri reveals truths about human nature: our circumstantial passions, the obsessions that confine us, and the many ways we rebel and find self-expression. " -- Amy Tan
