Professor Brij Mohan, Dean Emeritus of the LSU School of Social Work, made his debut this week as a novelist. His 18th book, "Death of an Elephant," is described as 'an allegory of existence' and marks a significant milestone in his distinguished career at LSU. In his foreword to the novella, Joseph V. Ricapito, Yenni Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the LSU Department of English, writes, "Mohan entices the curiosity of his book with the piquant title, 'Death of an Elephant.' ... The term 'magic realism,' used with respect to the work of García Màrquez, perhaps best explicates aspects of this fine novel. ... Mohan has expertly charted this voyage from early urges of permanence in an impermanent world." The book is being simultaneously released by iUniverse (Penguin), Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and other outlets.
