Jestus by V.S. Sury is a quirky tale that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, following a peculiar old man named Jestus. The narrative begins with the unnamed narrator recounting how a seemingly mad and unkempt figure, Jestus, serendipitously leads him to acquire billions through a bizarre betting game with the world's richest man, Michael Magnum. However, the narrator soon discovers the money is inaccessible, a realization that only deepens his connection with Jestus. As their encounters continue, often guided by strange coincidences or even animals, the narrator is drawn into Jestus's world of fluid reality, where imagination has tangible power. This culminates in a confrontation with thugs and supernatural occurrences that challenge the narrator's perception of the world.
Jestus by V.S. Sury is suspenseful, and the first-person narrative voice is gripping, always making readers wonder what will happen next. The primary characters are the skeptical yet increasingly bewildered narrator and the enigmatic Jestus. Jestus, with his shifting names and appearance, represents boundless imagination, freedom from social constraints, and a profound connection to the natural world. The narrator becomes the grounded perspective, constantly dealing with the unbelievable events orchestrated by Jestus. The setting fluctuates between the mundane urban environment of the narrator's cramped living situation and the fantastic, often wild, landscapes where Jestus resides. Jestus is a unique literary novel with quirky characters and a touch of the supernatural. The characters are fully fleshed out and unforgettable, and the prose sparkles on every page. This was a delightful read.
