Book excerpt: So haben Sie Indien noch nie gesehen – eine fiebrige Tour de Force durch das Bombay der Prostituierten, Dichter, Drogendealer Rashids Opiumhöhle im Rotlichtviertel Bombays bildet das dunkle Herz von ›Narcopolis‹. Hier schweben die Versprengten und Versehrten der Stadt ein, um sich einem trägen Traum hinzugeben. Die schöne Dimple, nicht ganz Frau und nicht ganz Mann, bereitet die Pfeifen vor, und alle kommen – Hindus, Muslime, Künstler, Angestellte, Xavier, der weltberühmte Maler, und Rumi, der Brahmane. In einer lyrischen, leuchtenden Prosa erzählt Thayil von einer »großen und gebrochenen Stadt«, die dabei ist, ihre Seele zu verkaufen.
