Chasing Maya released at New Delhi World Book Fair


PRESS RELEASE

Pune based author Rohan Gogoi’s debut novel ‘Chasing Maya’ was released at the 20th Biennial New Delhi World Book Fair, the country’s premier book show that was held this year from the 25th of February to the 4th of March at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.

Published by New Delhi based Global Vision Press, Gogoi’s novel is set against the backdrop of contemporary urban middle class India and tells the story of a thirty-two-year old individual, who in spite of his evident material success finds himself trapped in the grip of mediocrity – the distress and despair of being no different from millions of others in this world. It further narrates the protagonist’s rather eventful quest for his life of passion and his encounters with situations and people that lead him to astounding revelations.

“Chasing Maya is a beautifully crafted piece of literature. It is deeply philosophical in its essence, but the narration is simple, lucid and intriguing. Rohan has this tremendous ability of interweaving profound thoughts with free-flowing fiction. His style is cosmopolitan; has a universal appeal and holds the promise of reaching out to audiences beyond the boundaries of nationality, ethnicity and culture." commented Prashanta Kaushik, Managing Partner, Global Vision Press.

"Our company has published immortal works of renowned and highly respected authors in the league of Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Amrita Pritam and Khushwant Singh. We were on the lookout for bright and young writers to further extend our heritage of excellence to the English publishing industry. In this endeavour of ours, Rohan has been one of our prized discoveries and the Global Vision Press team is really excited about working with this exceptionally talented story-teller.” Kaushik added.

Chasing Maya will soon be available nationally and internationally through leading bookstores and online channels.
