Goodreads giveaway of The Mathematician's Shiva
Penguin is running a giveaway of my novel. 25 copies available to US citizens (Canadians got their copies from Penguin last month!). You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll learn some essential math. Drawing is completely random, I'm told (I asked for a say, but they said no, no, no.)

The early reviews have made me smile from ear to ear:
“High math, Eastern European history, and American culture converge in this hugely entertaining debut from geophysicist Rojstaczer…. [A] multilayered story of family, genius, and loss.”
–Publishers Weekly
“The Mathematician’s Shiva is a delight: Rojstaczer… delivers a smart, funny debut novel about family dynamics, the immigrant experience and the elegance of mathematics.”
–San Jose Mercury News
“The Mathematician’s Shiva” is for everyone…. It’s about family expectations, overcoming obstacles and breaking down gender-role stereotypes, while teaching the value of intellect. It’s a lesson in history, religion, Eastern European culture and, of course, math, which Rojstaczer says is ‘the equivalent of teenage texting, but for geeks.’ But at its core, it’s a story about an eccentric family, not in the traditional, slapstick Hollywood way, but in the prominent, high achieving way. The kind of family dysfunction you’d be happy to have.”
