The Revised Kama Sutra: A Novel

A sexually repressed Indian David Copperfield suffering from (and starring in) an advanced version of Portnoy's Complaint finally loses his cherry (and his religion) in this widely praised comic novel of Indian Catholic childhood, coming of age, modern Indian manhood, and the American Dream of Third World dreamers. The novel, an Indian bestseller, which was described as "very funny" by Kurt Vonnegut, and one of the best descriptions of "the post-Independence Indian urban male" has been published in 7 languages and 10 countries.

Described as "humorous and manic" by The Independent of London, and as personifying "the post-Indpendence Indian male" by Masala Magazine, the novel has been published by major publishers in ten different countries.
