I think that’s the key, listening to others. The book also mirrors the LGBTQ scenario in the city back in the day against the present. Do you think homosexuality is still a ‘subculture’ in the city that the heterosexual population know very little about? I believe a good definition of a city like Bombay would be: the unknowable set in the unliveable. But the city is an impartial fiery furnace into which you throw yourself willingly.
