Shortlisted for the BBC4 Samuel Johnson Prize Pulitzer Prize Finalist.    Winner of the Ririyama Prize for outstanding writing about The Pacific Rim and South-East Asia.

Part memoir, part journalism, part travelogue, and written with the relentless observation and patience of a novelist. Maximum City is a brillantly illuminating portrait of Bombay and its people  - a book as vast, diverse and rich in experience, incident and sensation as the city itself.

Maximum City is Mehta's first book, the product of seven years of research and writing.
