Description
This novel is an Indian "Angela's Ashes," one in which the little Vijay Prabhu, connecting with Robin Hood, John F. Kennedy, and Western movies, has to make a slight readjustment to his dreams. Instead of becoming a Pope or a saint, he dreams of going to America, the land of milk, honey, and Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup and becoming a millionaire philanthropist.
A complete novel in itself, "One Little Indian" is a reworking of the childhood, coming of age first half of The Revised Kama Sutra (which is actually two or four novels in one, according to two reputed authors at the Stone Coast conference), and it includes additional, never-published chapters that had been left out of "The Revised Kama Sutra" because of space constraints. The later, more unequivocally adult sections have been omitted from this book, which can be shared with a larger audience of cosmopolitan, widely read men and women.
The Telegraph, described "One Little Indian" as "a surprisingly delightful novel by a genuinely irreverent Indian from Mangalore." Commenting on how the novel does not fit the priggish mold of most other Indian writing, it adds: "Crasta's raunchiness is a mix of Khushwant Singh and Laurence Sterne. The unstoppably copious funniness is Shandian."
"A superb Mangalore-centric novel"—DP Satish
"An achingly beautiful book on the inner world pathos and outer world absurdity of growing up - both inner and outer, sometimes outrageously funny. It applies to all humans anywhere, since we all experience growing up, but is set in India in the late 1950s and 60s. What really makes this a work of genius for me is not only the way it recaptures growing up, but the pictures it paints of India on virtually every page."-- Mark David Ledbetter, Author.
