Assistant Professor Adam Lifshey publishes "As Green as Paradise: A Novel"
Assistant Professor Adam Lifshey has just recently published "As Green as Paradise: A Novel". As Green as Paradise is a lyrical weave of the governor's story, flowing with fables of beauty and solitude. It is a tale of loves lost and dreams unfulfilled, of characters condemned to forge ahead in a world at once old and new: scribes and inquisitioners, soldiers and scholars, storytellers and warriors, a unicorn hunter and a pirate and a wanderer, a poet and a musician too. And amid story upon story, the governor carves dim codes into the pits of discarded avocados and remembers it all.
Reviews:
"A lyrical novel dealing with love, colonialism and transformation, As Green as Paradise is both engaging and thoughtful."
-Glenn Haya, Karolinska Institute, University Library
"Both beautiful and brilliant, this novel reminds us of how ephemeral international conquests can be."
- Carole Sargent, Georgetown University
