Realist, and then as a poster. Now here it is, available again, the
original poster on high-quality paper, digitally colored, 18"x24" –

[A small independent publisher, Ronin, has released a new edition
of Tales of Tongue Fu, Paul Krassner's satire about a Japanese-American
man who goes to a summer camp for gurus. Below is his preface to this little book that Ken
Kesey described as “an underground classic.” Ram Dass
called Krassner “a contemporary Kahlil Gibran.”]
Woody Allen Meets Tongue Fu
In 1971, after reading Ed Sanders' book about the Charles Manson
mini-cult massacre, The Family, I began my own investigation
to see if I could find any answers to the questions he raised. The complete
story, “The Rise of Sirhan Sirhan in the Scientology,” is the
longest article in my collection, One Hand Jerking: Reports From
an Investigative Satirist, but in this context, I'll just quote an
excerpt from my interview with Preston Guillory, a former deputy sheriff
in Malibu who participated in the raid on the Spahn Ranch where Manson
and his cohorts were arrested. Conspiracy researcher Mae Brussell put
me in touch with him.continued
