Saint Richard Parker: His search for love and enlightenment across India, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia Kindle Edition

In this witty satire, a Brown man travels to Southeast Asia in search of love and enlightenment. Saint Richard Parker is perfect for fans and critics of Eat Pray Love, Less Is Lost, and The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.

Ace businessman, writer, and investigative journalist Richard Parker loses his job when he exposes the vegetarian CEO of his newspaper as a beef exporter. Accused of misconduct and forced to dissolve his company, he retreats to his wretched little village.

Attempting to resuscitate his life, Richard realizes that attaining enlightenment is his calling.

What holds him back?

Well, he does not know if spirituality or sexuality comes first. He must also avoid the attentions of Isakki, the dark witch, and her menacing buffaloes. Desperate and confused, Richard consults an astrologer, who predicts that his destiny lies in the exotic East.

Richard sets out on a spiritual journey—an odyssey of self-discovery that takes him through the market streets, ballrooms, tantric retreats, and pristine jungles of Southeast Asia. Between running for his life and trying to prove he is not a con artist, child snatcher, or Man Friday material, Richard discovers his true love—in the least expected place. And yes, he also discovers the path to enlightenment.

Saint Richard Parker is a humorous travel adventure across the famed spiritual and romantic region of Southeast Asia, with an ensemble of unforgettable characters and a keen eye for the absurdities of modern life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Think Travels with Charley, minus dog and fortified by a love mission, expecting nothing in return. That describes Merlin Franco's Saint Richard Parker (His search for love and enlightenment across India, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia)-the journey of former journalist-turned-author now flying around Southeast Asia searching for female companionship. His pilgrimage features A through Z, ashrams and astrologers to shamans, all eager to aid and abet in helping him eventually learn that there's no place like home. Punctuated by smiles on every page."—IndieReader

"This novel is witty and sharp, and it's comically and intentionally reminiscent of Eat, Pray, Love...the reader is allowed to laugh at themselves through Richard Parker's misfortunes and can thoroughly enjoy the novel's vivid scenery and constant, animated dialogue. Parker's unique, albeit naïve and self-centered, personality is entertaining to follow as he struggles to keep up in fast-paced situations, but these struggles capture a brief message for the reader: An answer may be hiding where you least expect it; follow it if you choose, but do not be afraid to let it pass."—The Independent Book review

"Truly funny novel of a South Indian man's journey toward enlightenment...Franco's prose and perspective are continually arresting, and the novel bursts with amusing incident and food for thought, especially on the subjects of commodified enlightenment, the exploitation of women and the global poor, and the (hilarious, troubling) flexibility of its narrator's ideas...as Parker ducks bees, endures misunderstandings, and encounters (but doesn't quite suss out) the hypocrisies of rulers and faith leaders, Franco stirs serious, often pained laughs."—Booklife

"Franco excels at keen characterization and effervescent dialogue. The globetrotting, vibrant, culturally rich adventures of Richard Parker are hard to resist."—Kirkus Reviews

From the Author

On 15 January 2012, I boarded Malaysia Airlines MH 2592, headed to Miri in Malaysian Borneo. I had just quit a coveted position in India for the allure of Sarawak. As I approached my seat, the 'Asian' lady occupying the seat next to mine pinched her nose and got up. Making sure not to touch me, she walked past and requested a seat change from the flight attendant, who wasted no time in obliging. Little did I know that this was just the first of many such experiences awaiting me in Southeast Asia.

I have been called a kala, keling, bumbay, orangutan and gorilla—all nicknames given to people of South Asian origin for our dark skin complexion. I have even run for my life unable to prove that I am not a child snatcher. Such incidents could be upsetting for the average Western reader sensitive to racial prejudice and discrimination. But for the Brown and Black people in Southeast Asia, this is just a part of everyday life.

Because the great Southeast Asian hospitality popularized by White writers is nothing but White fetish, Brown and Black people in Southeast Asia seldom experience similar human connections as White travelers do. Characters float in and out of our journeys; names pop up and fade away. The contexts change, characters change, but the experiences don't.

Eventually, life wears us out, and we give up—just like my protagonist, the most handsome Richard Parker. The silver lining is that we learn to laugh over it, since they constantly remind us not to be 'touchy'.

Saint Richard Parker is a satire inspired by such laugh worthy experiences. I hope you'll also laugh along with the wannabe saint on this odyssey.

When Richard Parker gets fired from the big business he worked for as a journalist he couldn’t forget his boss calling him “stupid Richard Parker“ and this is what initially causes him to retreat back to Lil Lotus the place of his birth and at the same time sends him on a spiritual journey. At first he worships the god of bachelors and even goes on the spiritual journey but when he arrived at the airport he missed spoke and said he was a Christian not knowing 2 feet away there is a sign that says only Buddhist allowed until after escaping a beat down his friend and mentor tells him he should not give up on marrying and that God made the female spirit for some reason… Right? so after going to another retreat he meets a woman whose name means bright moon in for the first time is in love he stays with her for months they build nonprofits for cows and then dogs and right when they’re about to properly become a couple she learned he ate meat before and then totally kicked him out of her house and her life. This is when he gets his palm read right before going back to Little Lotus and when he learned he was destined for great things and now he wants to be a saint. He will turn to the Christian religion a shaman the Harry Chrishnas and on and on the writing style of this book totally reminded me of Alexander McCall Smith who is one of my favorite authors this book is clever and although set in countries I have never visited and not familiar with it it was still easy to follow along with entertaining dialogue a fast-moving plot. It is a spiritual International journey with lots of lol moments and a protagonist you can’t help but to love. please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Saint Richard Parker is a well-written and fun book. It humorously chronicles one man's quest for love and spirituality, akin to a male version of many recent books. Richard Parker's journey, takes him across countries, encountering unique characters and navigating perilous situations, ultimately discovering himself. Beyond self-discovery, the book appeals to travel, food, and culture enthusiasts. Merlin Franco adeptly intertwines cultural norms and politics, offering a nuanced perspective beyond tourism. While the well-researched travel references captivate, unfamiliarity with Indian culture and regional nuances may pose challenges. I found it hard to understand several references in the book. Nevertheless, the book's charm resonates most with avid travelers or those familiar with the depicted regions and Indian culture.

Saint Richard Parker by Merlin Franco is one of those novels that you would never expect to enjoy. I seriously had some doubts that I was going to enjoy this novel; however, Merlin Franco has a way of proving you wrong. I enjoyed Richard Parker as a character because he truly is relatable. From being on top to just hitting rock bottom to just trying to find himself, Richard Parker does it in a way that would make you laugh. He's also a funny guy, and everything he said or did made me laugh. I also like the fourth wall that Richard Parker is breaking. He kind of reminded me of Zack from Saved by the Bell when he did that. I also like that Merlin Franco had a positive message for the readers in the acknowledgement section. His message warmed my heart and made me tear up a bit. I thought it was really heartwarming and thoughtful. Overall, I enjoyed the novel very much. It had a nice pace, and there were no grammatical errors that I saw. I would definitely recommend this novel to people who love novels with witty satire and those who love to read books that have different cultures. I rate this novel 5 out of 5 stars.

This book was a fun, engaging, silly, and vibrant read. The author, Merlin Franco, does a beautiful job at bringing Southeast Asian culture so lushly to the front. You can feel his awe and passion for his own culture. As a reader, it was a lot of fun to feel like I was on an adventure, exploring worlds I've never been to.
It's said that this book is like the male version of "Eat, Pray, Love", which isn't wrong. It's also the snarky version of "Eat, Pray Love". The lighter version, the braver version. I whole-heartedly enjoyed this book and think readers who are also on, or have been on their own journeys of self-discovery will enjoy this read too.
I look forward to more tales from Franco, what avenues of spirituality and life's strange and wonderful happenings he'll explore next!

Merlin Franco expresses his creative side by writing Saint Richard Parker on a man’s quest for enlightenment. After being fired from his investigative journalism job, Richard returns to his home village on a quest for a new path. After several encounters with an astrologer and the Dark Witch, Richard decides it's time to go on a spiritual journey for a purpose and pure enlightenment. While on a spiritual journey myself, I'm gaining insight and inspiration from this book. The crucial circumstances Richard encountered were intense and admirable. They only made him stronger. I could not help being fully invested in the story with every nook, cranny, twist, and turn Merlin Franco brilliantly showcased in this book.

Saint Richard Parker by Merlin Franco has an original signature for a spiritual journey. I could not find anything to dislike about this well-written book. For these reasons, I am awarding this book a five star rating.

Saint Richard Parker is a humorous tale of one person's journey seeking love and spirituality. It is like a male version of Eat, Pray, Love. Along his quest for these intangibles, Richard Parker finds himself.

The book also reminds me of Travels with My Aunt by Graham Greene. The main character voyages from country to country, meeting unique characters, getting mistaken for others, and finding himself in dangerous situations.

Saint Richard Parker is more than just a useful read for anyone on a journey of self-discovery. It will also appeal to those with a passion for travel, food, and culture. Merlin Franco has an ingenious way of mixing cultural norms and politics into the story setting, making the reader grasp the scene from more than just a tourist perspective.

4.0 out of 5 stars A ROBUST NOVEL THAT OFFERS NOT ONLY LAUGHS BUT ALSO A THOUGHTFUL COMMENTARY
Reviewed in India on April 25, 2024

In the world of contemporary fiction, a refreshing and humorous tale unfolds in Merlin Franco's "Saint Richard Parker: His search for love and enlightenment across India, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia." This narrative takes readers on an adventurous journey alongside Richard Parker, a once-thriving businessman and investigative journalist who, after a scandal, embarks on a quest for personal transformation in the enchanting locales of Southeast Asia.

The tale begins with Parker's exposure of the hypocritical practices of his newspaper's CEO, leading to his dismissal and a return to his humble village origins. This twist of fate prompts him to seek enlightenment and true love, sparking a series of misadventures across various Asian countries. Franco cleverly juxtaposes Parker’s spiritual quest against a backdrop of comical escapades, creating a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

Franco's writing style is a standout feature of this novel. His prose is agile and witty, making ample use of rich descriptions and a narrative voice that perfectly captures the absurdities of Parker's experiences. The language adapts to the settings, incorporating local dialects and phrases, which enhances the authenticity and humour of the dialogue. Franco employs a variety of literary techniques, such as satire and irony, to critique modern life and cultural stereotypes, lending depth to what might otherwise be a straightforward comedic journey.

Character development is another of Franco's strengths. Richard Parker is a complex character whose flaws and misadventures make him particularly relatable. Despite his many setbacks, Parker's resilience and growth keep the reader rooting for him. The secondary characters, including the dark witch Isakki and various romantic interests, are equally well-crafted, each adding flavor and challenges to Parker's journey towards enlightenment.

The structure of the plot is meticulously organized, with each chapter unveiling a new aspect of Parker’s character or a twist in his quest. The pacing is brisk, and the numerous plot twists keep the reader engaged. Franco skillfully balances the comedic elements with moments of sincerity, creating a rich tapestry of experiences that mirror the protagonist’s internal growth.

Thematic depth is another significant aspect of the novel. Franco explores themes of self-discovery, love, spiritual fulfillment, and the clash between personal ambition and ethical integrity. These themes are woven throughout the narrative, often presented with a light touch but offering genuine insight into human nature and the pursuit of meaning in life.

Emotionally, "Saint Richard Parker" resonates on multiple levels. It is heartwarming, with moments of genuine connection and introspection. It also provokes laughter, particularly through Parker's often misguided endeavors and the vivid descriptions of his chaotic encounters. These elements combine to make the novel a compelling read that stays with the reader long after the last page.

The book’s strengths are numerous, with its rich character development and vivid setting descriptions standing out. However, its length and complex narrative might pose challenges for some readers. At times, the story could benefit from tighter editing to enhance clarity and maintain momentum.

Personally, I found "Saint Richard Parker" to be a delightful and insightful read. It struck a chord with its blend of humour and earnestness. My connection to the book was deepened by its exploration of the human condition through the lens of satire.

Merlin Franco's "Saint Richard Parker" is a robust novel that offers not only laughs but also a thoughtful commentary on life's profound journeys. It is highly recommended for readers who enjoy satirical adventures infused with emotional depth and cultural richness. I look forward to Franco’s future works, hopeful they will continue to entertain and enlighten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not my kind of book but still good
Reviewed in Italy on November 6, 2023

I'm going to start this review by saying that this is not my kind of book, and while I wasn't particularly interested in the story, I think other people might enjoy it much more.

Richard Parker is a journalist, or at least he aspires to be one. He's about to release a story that will make him famous and rich, when he suddenly finds himself without a job and his reputation ruined. He decides to go back to his little village in South India, where he lives a simple life. But he feels his life isn't complete, and while before he was focused on his career, now he wants to reach sainthood. Starting from his own country, he will embark on a journey across Southeast Asia to find his destiny. He will visit countries like Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. He will meet different people, most of them women, and he will have many adventures... actually more like misadventures.

I think this book isn't exactly funny (though it's probably my fault for not seeing the humor) but it's definitely a satirical portrait of life, religion, politics, economics, love and other things. Many I didn't get, but mostly because I have never really been into things such as politics so I couldn't understand possible jokes the author made. I think people who are more interested in that will appreciate the satire a bit more.
Richard himself is not the most likeable protagonist you can find, though I feel like that was the author's intention. He is quite obsessed, naive, and... well in Italian we'd say he's got ham on his eyes. He doesn't really see things for what they are, but only sees what he wants to see. I guess that's part of the satire too so I think the author did a good job with that. You can definitely see Richard's misadventures come from his own naivete, and if he hadn't been so obsessed with the search for a wife he would have enjoyed his trip much more.
Regarding the trip itself, I haven't visited any of the countries in the book, though I wish to see some of them. Not knowing the countries he talks about, I enjoyed going on this trip with the protagonist.

To finish, I think this book is full of insights on various aspects of life and as such is worth reading. My own opinion was that the book felt a little too long, which probably is one of the reasons why I missed some of the humor, but I am still glad I gave it a try!

Saint Richard Parker was very different from what I'd expected going into this read.
The introduction to Richards life begins at his office where he's looking for the story of a lifetime as a journalist.
When he's fired from his job, the real story begins and he goes on his path toward enlightment.
The journey itself is full of struggles and self doubt, temptation and a lots of wit. Merlin Franco's writing was incredible, his character development was particually exceptional, really letting you feel Richard's struggles and empathise whilst still having to hold in your laughter. The secondary characters didn't feel as well rounded, but the humor kept me engaged and honestly, it's what I loved most about the book. Its very engaging and well worth a read.

Merlin Franco takes readers on a tumultuous journey with Richard Parker, as he navigates the ups and downs of his physical and spiritual quest.

Returning to his little village, Richard finds himself at a crossroads, his cow urine business failing and his book royalties barely making ends meet. In search of rejuvenation, both physically and spiritually, he immerses himself in daily baths in the lotus pond, using this time for deep introspection on his life's path.

Despite being born into a Christian family, Richard turns to Hinduism in his quest for a fresh start, hoping to find purpose and perhaps even love along the way. As Richard delves deeper into his spiritual exploration, he finds himself drawn towards a new path, encouraged by the village guru, Gurusaamy, who invites him on a pilgrimage.

However, his newfound spiritual journey is marred by the intrusion of the Hindu Brotherhood, a mysterious organization that condemns him as a 'rice bag convert,' contributing to his downfall in business and literature.

I liked how the book weaves together themes of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and the intricacies of human connection, offering readers a thought-provoking and engaging narrative that transcends boundaries of culture and tradition.

With its blend of humor, satire, and moments of poignancy, this novel invites readers on a journey of introspection and exploration, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page is turned.

There are several books themed around the concept of rich and affluent people taking up the path of self-enlightenment. Almost all such books are written either in the form of self-help guides or philosophical narrations. However, Merlin Franco’s book Saint Richard Parker approaches the subject in a somewhat unconventional manner. It takes the readers on an exciting and humorous journey to the exotic Far East, which is considered to be the hub of spirituality.
Richard Parker is an ace businessman and an investigative journalist. He writes an article exposing his boss as an illegal beef exporter, which causes him to lose his job. Forced to close down his business, he moves back to his small village. As he tries to revive his life, Richard realizes that his calling in life is attaining self-enlightenment. However, he seems to have attracted the attention of a dark witch Isakki, and her menacing buffaloes. Feeling increasingly confused and desperate, Richard seeks the advice of an astrologer. The astrologer tells him that his destiny lies in the Far East. So, he journeys to the South Asian countries of India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore seeking love and enlightenment. However, his search for true love and spirituality is marked by a farcical comedy of errors. After experiencing a series of mix-ups and lost chances, Richard finally finds what he has been searching for in the most unexpected places.
The author has used different versions of English as used in the various countries that Richard visits. This makes the text seem more authentic and also adds an element of humor to it. The vibrant characters and lively dialogue make the book extremely interesting to read. The narrative is fast-paced which ensures that the readers do not feel bored while reading the book. Despite its long length, the novel is quite informative and exciting, especially for people who love to travel. The book tells the tale of the spiritual transformation of a smug and egoistic businessman and writer. It takes the readers on a rollercoaster ride through some of the most iconic places in South Asia. At the same time, the book provides several comical and intellectual settings that help them to greatly enjoy the misadventures of Richard Parker. Despite that, the book never wavers from its primary theme of seeking self-enlightenment. All these elements combine to make reading the book an amusing and engaging experience for the readers.
The cover page of the book has been interestingly and colorfully designed. It features the title of the book along with an image of a bearded brown man. The subtitle of the book is placed at the lower end and provides a clear idea of what the book is all about setting the right tone for the readers.

For me its a good experience reading this book. After a long time read a book of different taste... loved it
