«Ciudad total: Bombay perdida y encontrada» is the essay by Suketu Mehta, published by Literatura Random House in hardback (656 pages, in Spanish).
Suketu Mehta was born in Bombay and from that close perspective portrays the city: the rise of Bollywood, organized crime, tensions between communities, and the dreams of those arriving from the provinces. The work combines reportage, history, and personal memory to tell the life of a megalopolis and of contemporary India.
Originally published as Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found, it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2005. Translation by Aurora Echevarría Pérez.
Recommended for nonfiction readers interested in the history, society, and urban life of India.
