Through text and photos, Priya Sarukkai Chabria and Christopher Taylor weave a narrative around the pulsating and restless metropolis of Mumbai. The writer and photographer visit relatively unexplored precincts, high-rises and heritage villages. They encounter little-known trades that reveal the city’s history, and explore the illusory yet surreal world of Bollywood. The result is a book that is simultaneously a memoir, travelogue, investigation and poetic exposition.
