A tenured professor of Indian studies and Sanskrit literature feels he’d be a better teacher if he knew the pleasures of making love to an Indian woman. He becomes obsessed with an Indian student, invents a bogus summer study program abroad, and begins his own translation of the KAMASUTRA - only slightly altered to suit his evil purposes. After numerous negative adventures he’s beaten to death with a Sanskrit dictionary. A grad student attempts to finish his life’s work and solve his murder but instead finds wild adventures of his own. Now in paper. #6708
