TEN POEMS AND A LETTER FROM AMERICA FOR MR SINHA1971

The writer receives sixteen letters from a young man in India who demands that he be brought to the United States and that he would serve as the writer's servant and steward. Endeavoring to stem the flood of letters and recognizing the impossibility of responding to this request, the writer sends a reply to Mr Sinha including observations on the difficulties that he would face in life outside India. He offers the young man as a gift TEN POEMS and a number of Children's Drawings - "The First Flight To Mairs"; Fatman Meets The Muskrat; Il y a un Joli Sapin dans le Cour; Mistigris se fache contre le Chien; C'est Mignon, le petit Mouton Blanc - using the drawings as a counterpoint - North America seen through the eyes of a child. How would Mr Sinha adapt ? Could he cope even with the child's world? There is a photograph of the author, facing page 90, by Saby Fernandes of the Indian Express Newspaper.
