Now shorlisted for the Guardian First Book prize. The pure density of the work in many ways characterises the city it portrays in a very human story of the vast metropolis. The author grew up in Bombay, left, then returned 21 years later to look at it with fresh eyes. Through the lives of divers inhabitants, he illustrates an extraordinary and frightening place. A very impressive work.
