The Queen of Sheba, and my cousin, the colonel explores a young man's escape from routine into a whimsical and unpredictable journey that alters his understanding of identity and desire. As the assistant cashier of a small-town bank, he abandons his post for an impulsive ride through the New Hampshire countryside. His path, initially intended as leisure, turns into a comedic unraveling of his expectations. The unpredictable behavIor of his horse leads him to an unfamiliar village where assumptions falter and meaning begins to shift. There he meets an enigmatic girl who calls herself the queen of sheba, triggering a cascade of bizarre and humorous encounters that mix illusion with reality. The book pivots around this strange character and what she awakens in the narrator: an awareness of how constrained his life has been. The mood veers between satire and sentiment, steadily unearthing the narrator's deeper motives and internal contradictions as his surroundings defy logic and predictability. What begins as an idle excursion becomes a confrontation with longing, the absurdity of convention, and the refusal of clarity.
