What an absurd and fabulous city
My first memories were of Calcutta. I was a child when my family lived there in the late 1950's. This book took me back to those memories and put them into a more meaningful context. The descriptions are superb. The spices, the cloying stenches, the crowds, the mixing and segregations of cultures, the movements of living and dying.
