Book Description
What will you be if nothing could stop you? What would you do if you knew you were indestructible?
Everything in Shaurya’s life was comfortably mundane until he discovers his special, newly acquired abilities.
High on this newly attained aleatory power, he is restless, wandering aimlessly. He doesn’t know how to use his abilities for the benefit of humanity. But when he meets Megha, a mysterious yet sagacious woman, his life gets the explosive spurt he needed.
Driven by a desire to serve, Shaurya’s path will be tough. Only Megha can teach him how to navigate the edge effectively. In their partnership, she is the Aristotle to his Alexander; the Chanakya to his Chandragupta. She directs, and he performs. Together, they complement each other perfectly.
Their vision is mammoth and their path precipitous, but they are willing to give their all, no matter what the cost. Sometimes, it takes just one Sisyphus to change the world. Or perhaps two. But no matter how many times the boulder rolls down, the process must start again—ad infinitum.
Maybe it’s God’s will. Or maybe not. But He is certainly not dead. He will never be.

The Repeat Room - A Novel

Jesse Ball

Franz Kafka meets Yorgos Lanthimos in this provocative new novel from one of America's most brilliant and distinctive writers 
 
 
 
In a speculative future, Abel, a menial worker, is called to serve in a secretive and fabled jury system. At the heart of this system is the repeat room, where a single juror, selected from hundreds of candidates, is able to inhabit the defendant's lived experience, to see as if through their eyes. 
 
 
 
The case to which Abel is assigned is revealed in the novel's shocking second act. We receive a record of a boy's broken and constrained life, a tale that reveals an illicit and passionate psycho-sexual relationship, its end as tragic as the circumstances of its conception. 
 
 
 
Artful in its suspense, and sharp in its evocation of a byzantine and cruel bureaucracy, The Repeat Room is an exciting and pointed critique of the nature of knowledge and judgment, and a vivid framing of Ball's absurd and nihilistic philosophy of love.
