- “With fine stylistic nuance and a deep understanding of the vicissitudes of human character, PraneshPrasad offers readersinsight into the gradual evolution of religious devotion, the painful inequalities of the Indian caste system, and the choices – for both a man and a woman – pursuant to a life of passion and conviction.”
- – Professor Michael Wutz , Department of English, Weber University, Utah
- “The messy conjunction of Indian and New Zealand cultures that Pranesh Prasad describes so effectively in his new novel The Hidden Imam , speaks directly to our global moment. We vividly see through the narrator’s eyes, how religion and gender, upbringing and geopolitics comingle to produce layers of displacement that are sometimes revelatory, sometimes violent, and that every reader will relate to.”
- – Professor Alan Johnson , Department of English, Idaho State University, Idaho
- “The writing is wonderful.”
