Working Title 1.1: The Bombay Liaison (is Grateful)
In three interlocking stories, Dinika Amaral explores the fantasy and frustrations of post-colonial India. Weaving together the experiences of western visitors, the bustle of a contemporary Bombay marketplace, and figures from sacred Hindu texts, Amaral offers a mercurial, dreamlike vision of Bombay in the 21st century: ancient, global, chaotic, dazzling.
