Richard Crasta's bestselling novel, The Revised Kama Sutra, was praised by the late author Kurt Vonnegut and Publishers Weekly, besides being widely acclaimed in the Indian press and translated into German, Italian, Czech, Latvian, Hebrew, and Slovak. He also authored the controversial Impressing the Whites: The New International Slavery, which is a combination of wit, satire, and political observations. Born in India, he is now a New-Yorker-at-large in Asia, working on a variety of new books. Having published seven other books, including Beauty Queens, Children and the Death of Sex, Impressing the Whites: The New International Slavery, One Little Indian, What We All Need, and The Killing of an Author, and having co-authored Fathers Rebels and Dreamers besides contributing a son's perspective to his father's memoir of being a prisoner of the Japanese in World War II, Eaten By the Japanese: The Memoir of an Unknown Indian Prisoner of War, Richard Crasta is presently working on three novels and three nonfiction projects. Richard Crasta is also the proud father of three sons, all of whom currently work in various parts of America. India is still his source of inspiration, but American politics (and laughing at the comedians and grotesque characters in American politics) is currently his passion, as is the Barcelona football club and the Brazilian national football team.
