The Author's Typescript of an Anglo-Indian Underground Novel

BRATA, Sasthi. Typescript of She and He. Hampstead. [c. 1971].

Quarto 'IXL File', ff. [v, stencilled title, biography of the author, statement of fictionality, quotations from Edith Sitwell and T.S. Eliot, prefatory statement], 86, [1, sectional title], 87-306, [1, sectional title], 307A, 307-321, 321A, 322-379; file somewhat worn and bent; final leaves loose, penultimate leaf with a few marginal stains, title a little spotted; author's address and phone number in red ink on title; typed and signed letter by the New York publisher Arthur W. Wang to Brata, dated 1967, New Statesman printed manuscript refusal note and 4-page typescript essay by Brata titled Cries of a Trapped Liberal loosely inserted.

She and He, the author's second novel appeared in New Delhi in 1973 and focuses, after the Confessions of an Indian Woman Eater on the sexual exploits of the hero of Arab and French extraction, who lives in Hampstead, London, wants to write and talks about the 'Great English Novel'. The version of the novel is here titled Put in your Breast a Stone, and one interesting aspect of the book is that his ex-girlfriend sends him an unfinished novel, having written her side of the story, with blank pages (marked as such in the typescript) for the hero and narrator to fill in.

Sasthibrata Chakravarti (1939-2015) was born in Kolkata, worked in Europe as a lavatory attendant, kitchen porter, barman, air-conditioning engineer, and postman, and in New York as a freelance journalist.

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.
