HOME IN THE CITY

Sooni Taraporevala's arresting photographs cutting across class and community lines are an insider's affectionate view of the city she considers home. Capturing life in Bombay/Mumbai from 1977 to the present day the images - complex and intimate quirky and quotidian - celebrate the odd and everyday character of a city as its shape shifted over four decades. With illuminating write-ups by Pico Iyer and Salman Rushdie as well as a candid conversation between Taraporevala and Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi the works in this book are a significant original contribution to the social history of one of India's most diverse cities..
