He treads the city’s streets,including its less celebrated destinations—Nehru Place, Pitampura andGurgaon—places most writers ignore. His encounters with Delhi’s people,from ragpickers to members of the Police Brass Band, create a richlyentertaining portrait of what the city is and what it is becoming. Milleris, like so many of the people he meets, a migrant in one of the world’sfastest growing megapolises and the Delhi he depicts is one whose futureconcerns us all.Miller possesses an intense curiosity; he has an infallible eye for life’sdiversities, for all the marvellous and sublime moments that illuminatepeople’s lives. This is a generous, original, humorous portrait of a greatcity; one which unerringly locates the humanity beneath the mundane, theunsung and the unfamiliar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH INDIA LOCAL PRINT","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46296411078807,"sku":"9780143415534","price":260.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143415534.webp?v=1769304659","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/delhi-9780143415534","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
