V.S. Sury’s novel Jestus brings readers a whirlwind of fantasy, humor, and fuzzy-dizzy logic, guaranteed to turn everyday reality delightfully upside-down. In this riveting read, the protagonist “Jestus” (or whatever name he chooses on any given day) unleashes a chaotic brand of brilliance upon the world—often rendering the impossible possible and the possible impossible.
In Jestus, the mundane meets the extraordinary. Whether it’s making a billion in five weeks, handling robber-cum-rapists, or outsmarting noisy neighbors with a gift of plastic swastikas, Jestus has an outrageous (yet astonishingly effective) solution for everything. At times, he seems downright mad—but there’s a laced logic behind his madness that pulls readers in and doesn’t let go. Written with a lighthearted touch, Jestus also explores subtle truths about life, reality, and how we perceive both.
“He appears to be insane, but he drives you crazy by his words—fuzzy logic. His concomitant actions make you dizzy. The combination is called ‘fuzzy-dizzy logic,’ which can make the impossible possible, and the possible impossible.” —V.S. Sury
Book reviewer @verseandvibes_books (Sanchit) shared:
“I can’t express enough how much I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jestus by V.S. Sury. This book had me hooked right from the start, with its unique blend of fantasy, humor, and sheer absurdity… What made it so impactful for me was how the book didn’t take itself too seriously, but still managed to say something about life, logic, and how we view reality. I found it surprisingly thoughtful, and I think that’s why I connected with it so deeply. There’s something liberating about letting go of rigid logic and just enjoying the craziness that life—and this book—throws your way.”
Rated 4 out of 5 stars, the review highlights Jestus as a “fresh, hilarious, and strangely meaningful experience,” a testament to how the novel transcends conventional genres.
