身为土生土长的 Bombay 人，Suketu Mehta 为我们呈现了这座令人惊叹的大都市的内部视角。他从出人意料的视角切入这座城市：带我们走进穆斯林与印度教敌对帮派争斗的地下犯罪世界；追踪一位在贫困与虐待中长大的酒吧舞女的生活；推开通往 Bollywood 核心殿堂的大门；并深入挖掘无数为了寻求更美好生活而来、最终却露宿街头的村民们的故事。——来自平装版。

要是想了解孟买的真实写照，我强烈推荐《Maximum City》这本书。我 2007 到 2008 年住在那儿，爱死这座城市了。人特别棒。有好多次人力车师傅追着我跑，就是因为我付完钱没拿找零……

《Maximum City》，一本关于孟买的非虚构作品。第一次去那里的人很适合当向导书看。我觉得更新版很快就要出了。《Project Hail Mary》（挽救计划），一本写给工程技术宅的太空科幻书。《The Body》和《At Home》……
