«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.

Recommended for nonfiction readers interested in the history, society, and urban life of India.
