Doz reviews Suketu Mehta’s Maximum City.

When I was younger, my faith in the belief that all knowledge is good for you was unwavering. I don’t know about that any more. This book is one more reminder that perhaps there are many things in the world I have no wish to know about. Mehta’s simultaneously fascinating and repulsive account steam-rolls on and I clung on for dear life, literally reduced to watching a Cary Grant movie a day to keep at least some of my illusions about life and my cheer intact.
