When the greatest female mathematician ever sold dies, her child, Alexander "Sasha" Karnokovitch, just would like to mourn his mother in calmness. But rumor has it the notoriously eccentric Polish émigré has fixed one of the most difficult problems in all of mathematics and has spitefully considered the solution to her grave. To be a ragtag group of mathematicians from surrounding the world descends upon Rachela's shiva, established to get the confirmation or solve it for themselves - even if it means prying up the floorboards for notes or frantically scrutinizing the mutterings of her African Grey parrot - Sasha must come to terms along with his mother's outsized effect on his life. Spanning generations and continents, from a packed living room in Madison, Wisconsin, to the windswept beach on the Barents Sea in which a young Rachela experienced her first numerical discovery, The Mathematician's Shiva is an unexpectedly moving and uproariously funny novel that catches humanity's drive not only to endure but to attain the impossible.
