Who says lawyers have all the fun? Richard King’s new novel Accounting for Crime takes you inside the world of business gone right and people gone wrong in a roman a clef that combines intrigue, love triangles, tough talking cops and cold-blooded mobsters.
“King . . . has talent and wit and Montreal.”- Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail
"King’s first novel, That Sleep of Death, “is a tidily written, gripping little mystery.”
- Pat Donnelly, The Gazette

Jason Price Everett's poetry is featured in the latest Mad Hatter's Review (Issue 12). See a preview here.
What happens when the gods of India voyage to the northwestern lands of the globe? In MAPLE VEDAS, K. Gandhar Chakravarty stages an impossible and irresistible migration: Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha, and Kali stepping onto Canadian soil, encountering the flora and fauna of a world utterly alien to the subcontinent. A prophetic moose delivers oracles. A secretive walrus guards ancient knowledge. A charming groundhog mediates between worlds.
MAPLE VEDAS continues Chakravarty's project of fusing his twin inheritances — the mythic and spiritual depths of India with the fractured modernity of the Canadian landscape. These poems move between the cosmic and the comic, the sacred and the absurd, finding in the encounter between Eastern deities and Western wilderness a mirror for the immigrant experience itself. What does it mean to carry your gods with you across an ocean, and what happens when they meet the new world on its own terms?
For readers of KOLKATA DREAMS, MAPLE VEDAS represents the next chapter in Chakravarty's ongoing exploration of diaspora, spirituality, and the places where heaven and earth — East and West — meet and mix.
K. GANDHAR CHAKRAVARTY (Komal Gandhar), named after a beautiful Indian Raga, is a Canadian-born Bengali poet, musician, and theologian. Raised in a Bengali cultural atmosphere in Canada, he imbibed his heritage while also learning the culture of his adopted country. His work fuses his twin inheritances — the mythic and spiritual depths of India with the fractured modernity of the West — into poetry of rare musicality and spiritual urgency. His collections with 8th House include KOLKATA DREAMS and MAPLE VEDAS.
