A true, modern story of the post-apocalyptic megalopolis. POWER The first section of this book disturbed me more than anything I can remember reading. The author takes us with him as he moves back to his birth city of Bombay, and we feel the disorientation and culture shock as he discoverers the ways it has been "ruined." I knew nothing about Bombay before reading this book, and the process of becoming acquainted with it through these chapters was often dizzying, sometimes stretched the limits of my belief, and more than once made me feel nauseous. Suketu sprinkles his narrative with the many names and phrases of the local cultures, sometimes with translations and sometimes without; this only adds to the feeling of being immersed in an increasingly alien and unknowable world. There are descriptions of poverty, torture, meaningless violence, bureaucratic nightmares, pervasive corruption and upside-down justice -- in short, every type of societal clusterfuck imaginable -- that carves a meandering path between farcical and horrifying. In these realms even the names we give to people and places are illusory, constantly shifting. In his straightforward recounting of many run-ins with the people and systems of his city, Suketu paints a picture of a world gone far beyond sanity yet somehow continuing according to its own tenuous rules.
