John A. Raju is an engineer by qualification, a business analyst by profession, and an author by passion. His love for books was stoked initially by a diet of Jeffrey Archer and Dan Brown novels. Milan Kundera, Khaled Hosseini, Douglas Adams, and Arthur C. Clarke are some among his several other favourite authors. He completed his debut work The Purgatory of Half-Forgotten Riddles during a four month break taken after his first job. It was published in 2020.

He maintains a blog https://fourththoughts.wordpress.com/ where he pens book reviews and shares posts on myriad abstract observations. He occasionally writes on Quora as well https://www.quora.com/profile/John-A-...

Manuscripts don’t burn.
Absurd, hilarious, deep at times, confusing at others, ridiculous always, with a lot of autobiographical elements. A very quirky ride satirising Stalinist Soviet Union of the 1930s with Satan, a talking cat, a demon and a bunch
