"Murzban F. Shroff's narratives in this concept collection of fourteen stories feature a range of beautifully drawn characters in fascinating situations: from the laundrywallas' water shortage problems to the doomed love affair of a schizophrenic painter and his Bollywood girlfriend to the heartwarming relationship of a carriage driver and his beloved horse. Each of these stories is richly crafted and arranged against the grand, chaotic backdrop of life that is Bombay. Shroff's love for his hometown shines through, but so does his deep understanding of its challenges and problems. Breathless in Bombay takes the reader on an unforgettable emotional and cultural journey."--BOOK JACKET.
