Beschreibung des Verlags
A native of Bombay, Suketu Mehta gives us an insider’s view of this stunning metropolis. He approaches the city from unexpected angles, taking us into the criminal underworld of rival Muslim and Hindu gangs, following the life of a bar dancer raised amid poverty and abuse, opening the door into the inner sanctums of Bollywood, and delving into the stories of the countless villagers who come in search of a better life and end up living on the sidewalks.
As each individual story unfolds, Mehta also recounts his own efforts to make a home in Bombay after more than twenty years abroad. Candid, impassioned, funny, and heartrending, Maximum City is a revelation of an ancient and ever-changing world.
Kundenrezensionen
Wholesome description of life in Bombay
Of course a big focus on out of the normal lifestyles which make this book very entertaining, but at the same time one also gets a fairly good idea what life in general from poor to super rich people and Bombay is like. Really enjoyed it.
