Brownboys.com is for sale

To raise finances to meet unexpected expenses and to help me go on writing, I have put this domain:

www.brownboys.com

up for sale.

It was registered in 1999, and I think it has great potential, possibly as a commercial proposition, and possibly as a powerful symbol for the over one billion or more brown-skinned persons (and "persons of color") on this planet. I can think of other imaginative uses for this, and someone who can invest in this domain and hold on to it until the right buyer comes along (a sheikh? a billionaire? a corporation?) might turn in a neat profit.

If you need to buy this domain, for yourself or as an investment, please contact me at rc@richardcrasta.com

The Strange World of an Indian Bestselling Author

From The Killing of an Author, published in paper and on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Nook, etc. Selected passages from one of the book's most important chapters. The trouble with any excerpt in a blog is that, I have to restrict the language here, and also that no excerpt can really convey the power of the book as the book itself (particularly later chapters such as "The Taboos" and "The System and the Killing of Subversive Authors"). An Author Is Born The Strange World of A Bestselling Indian Author Finally the book ["The Revised Kama Sutra: A Novel"] was finished, and it included a strong, in-your-face Prologue, a political manifesto on behalf of invisible Third World writers, a manifesto demanding equal freedom and incorporating The Invisible Man Press: “It is true that I, the author, have registered a publishing company in the United States called the Invisible Man Press because I felt that it was time for us Indians (incl...

For India's Independence Day & Month, the Freedom Trilogy, Beauty Queens, What We All Need

When a young Indian named Mohandas Gandhi went to South Africa as a fortune-hunting lawyer, he, thanks to an inbuilt sense of fairness and justice, refused to back down when slapped on the face with an unfair law: “No blacks and Indians allowed in First Class railway compartments.” The incident changed his life. A rising yuppie lawyer, he was transformed into a freedom fighter heedless of his personal wealth, and interested purely in battling injustice and gaining freedom for oppressed people. I, who am no saint in most aspects of my life, did, over a longer period, come to a certain discovery that changed my literary career and perhaps my life.  I came to America to study and for the freedom to be who I really was.  American universities were spacious, generous, and open-minded. Until I arrived in America, I did not know how to distinguish between good literature and trash; I had read very few of the great works. In America, at two different universities, one of wh...
