Mau-mauing the Chakras of the Bakras: A Tale of Sympathy for Poor Devils, Male and Female

by Richard Crasta

By the author described as "very funny" by Kurt Vonnegut, a sexy and funny 4400-word book whose title he considers to be his funniest yet. Humor, human interest, understanding the human male and what turns him on; how do women acquire power over women? Sympathy for Poor Indian Devils and also for their ministering Angels; sympathy for the needy. The Hand Shake, an Indian tool for the manipulation of chakras. (Incidentally, the second chakra features prominently in the "story" of Molly, the masseuse who accused Gore of the unthinkable.) Also, a side note on Hair Massage. This book would however make a great gift to make someone laugh.This is part of the Invisible Man Books Free a Writer Series meant to support the author in his struggle for independence--do not buy it if you intend to purchase MASSAGE NO BOOM BOOM, which is the more expensive, full, 56,000-word book (unless you wish to do it anyway as a gesture of support for the author). Also watch for comments on the Indian master-class, bakrification, male empowerment, and Vedic X-tra Large G-Strings Pour Homme.

About the author

Richard Crasta is the author of 12+ books (not 62 books or so, as shown by Goodreads--the author was simply trying out new titles for the same book, or launched a trial balloon book, then unpublished it; so most of the listed books don't exist). Crasta's novel of childhood and coming of age, "The Revised Kama Sutra," was described as "very funny" by Kurt Vonnegut and was published in 10 countries and in 7 languages. It has also been consistently been part of the recommended reading list in Lonely Planet's guides to India, at first, and then in the Lonely Planet Guide to South India.

Crasta's books include fiction, nonfiction, essays, autobiography (including books on fatherhood, publishing, and the lives of men), humor, and satire (3 of these under the pen name of Benny Profane). Throughout his literary career, he has been driven by a passion for freedom, self-expression, and resistance to colonialism and censorship, including that indirect form of censorship known as ethnic pigeonholing or literary apartheid. His books include "The Revised Kama Sutra," "Impressing the Whites," "The Killing of an Author," (the three books that comprise his Freedom Trilogy), and "What We All Need." They have been described as "going where no Indian writer has gone before," and try to present an unedited, uncensored self and view of the world.

Richard Crasta has traveled widely, and though his publishing imprint, Invisible Man Press, is located in New York, he now spends his time in Asia, working on seven books in progress.
