An insider's view of the stunning metropolis of Bombay, this travelog/autobiography recounts author Suketu Mehta's efforts to make a home in Bombay after more than 20 years abroad.
He takes the reader into the criminal underworld of rival Muslim and Hindu gangs, follows the life of a bar dancer raised amid poverty and abuse, opens the door into the inner sanctums of Bollywood, and delves into the stories of countless villagers who come in search of a better life but end up living on the sidewalks.
