A rich, hallucinatory dream that captures Bombay in all its compelling squalor, Narcopolis completely subverts and challenges the literary traditions for which the Indian novel is celebrated. It is a book about drugs, sex, death, perversion, addiction, love, and God and has more in common in its subject matter with the work of William S. Burroughs or Baudelaire than with that of the subcontinent's familiar literary lights. Above all, it is a fantastical portrait of a beautiful and damned generation in a nation about to sell its soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeet Thayil\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of four poetry collections, including \u003ci\u003eThese Errors Are Correct\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEnglish\u003c\/i\u003e and is the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Bloodaxe Book of Contemporary Indian Poets\u003c\/i\u003e.
