Fathers and Sons, War and Love (3 Book Bundle)

Image
Three generations of fathers and sons come together in "Fathers and Sons, War and Love," which consists of 3 books in one bundle. The first book, "Eaten by the Japanese," is the World War II memoir of John Baptist Crasta, the father of Richard Crasta, who is an editor and minor co-author of his father's memoir, and the author of "Father, Rebel, Dreamer" and  "Letters to My Sons." [June 2015 expanded edition.] "Eaten by the Japanese," written by a recuperating John Baptist Crasta in 1946, was published by his son just two years before his father's death; the act of reading and publishing his 87-year-old father's almost forgotten memoir was a process of discovery and reconciliation for the son. The second book consists of fictional and nonfictional reflections, essays, and humor loosely collected around the theme of "Father, Rebel, Dreamer." The third book is a book of letters from a father to his sons: poi...

Impressing the Whites

Update: I am delighted that 12 Years a Slave received an Oscar for Best Picture--it should be made compulsory viewing for every high school and college student.

The Failure of Courage and Impressing the Whites

Impressing the Whites is a book with universal resonance, one that has been taught at an American university, and also in South Africa. And yet, it is known to very few outside a tiny circle in India and among a few Indians in North America. Why?  [You can download the book here if you wish, or buy it from other channels.] An Indian television host said to me, "We speak of it privately, among ourselves, but we dare not raise the subject in public." Why?  Because the wrath of the giants might be visited upon them? Possibly. Life is too short not to have a good time while it lasts. And yet, life is also too short to live it as a complete coward, even though prudence, at times, is called for (prudence can also be an excuse for cowardice).  And so, I dared. And the result: "Impressing the Whites." and a host of other books, including, "When David Davidar Drank My Wine"--which can now be downloaded directly from my site. But some people, who a...
