Suketu Mehta draws us into the multi-faceted world of Bombay with the skill of a novelist in 'Maximum City'. Powerful, brilliantly written, often disturbing, this book is a major work on one of the world's great cities - a city that is home to more people than the entire continent of Australia.
Suketu Mehta’s quest is to the very heart of this city, the home he left as a child, as he discovers what it means to return. Part memoir, part journalism, part travelogue, and written with the relentless observation and patience of a novelist, it is a riveting portrait of men and women in the megalopolis, and a guide to the future of ‘the city’ itself.
