Fathers and Sons: Essays, Letters, Memories

About this ebook
How a son's eyes were opened to his father's greatness, and how this son (now a father) realized what fatherhood does to a man. Variegated stories that dive deep into the emotions, experiences and exhilaration that defines fatherhood.
A quote from a passionate letter in this short book: "In principle, I would want every father to be reunited with his sons: [It] would result in more happiness, more peace throughout the world, fewer enmities, less hatred, fewer violent acts, fewer suicides. [For] we are all either fathers, or the children of fathers."
About how children become a part of your flesh and blood, making separation, whether at the Mexican border or elsewhere, traumatic, a preview of books to come, and a book that may fit Kafka's ideal of being "an axe for the frozen sea inside us."

His books have been described as "going where no Indian writer has gone before," and attempt to present an unedited, uncensored voice (James Joyce, Vladimir Nabokov, and Philip Roth are among the novelists who have inspired him.).Richard was born and grew up in India, joined the Indian Administrative Service, then moved to America to become a writer, and has traveled widely. Though technically still a New York resident, he spends most of his time in Asia working on his books in progress and part-time as a freelance book editor.
