Reviews
"Stunning. . . . A powerful, arresting work. . . . Marvelous." Los Angeles Times Book Review "Narrative reporting at its finest, probably the best work of nonfiction to come out of India in recent years. . . . Mehta succeeds so brilliantly in taking the pulse of this riotous urban jungle." The New York Times Book Review As each individual story unfolds, Mehta also recounts his own efforts to make a home in Bombay after more than twenty years abroad. Candid, impassioned, funny, and heartrending, Maximum City is a revelation of an ancient and ever-changing world. "What Dickens did for London, what Joseph Mitchell did for New York City, Suketu Mehta has done for Bombay. . . . A candid, extensive, and wholly entertaining portrait." San Diego Union-Tribune "The ultimate insider's view of Bombay, a roiling and vigorous account that delivers on a seemingly impossible challenge: how to limn the diversity and sprawl of such a place in a single book."

Although the photo of the book was a stock photo, I was disappointed to receive the book with no dust jacket because description did not say No Dust Jacket. A barcode sticker was placed over the gold embossed title on the spine. Even careful removal ruined the words under the sticker. The book itself, other than the missing dust jacket and ruined spine title, is in excellent condition. Please alert buyers when a book is sans dust jacket.
