Publisher's Summary
Shuklaji Street, in Old Bombay. In Rashid's opium room a young woman holds a long-stemmed pipe over a flame as men sprawl and mutter in the gloom. In Shuklaji Street they say you introduce only your worst enemy to opium. But then whispers build of a new terror, something that shifts the tenuous balance of survival for the city's nameless, invisible poor.
A rich, hallucinatory dream of a novel, Narcopolis captures the Bombay of the 1970s in all its compelling squalor. With a cast of pimps, pushers, poets and gangsters, it is a lyrical and unforgettable journey into a sprawling underworld.
The reader is Robertson Dean.

Good Narration, Horrible Story
Although I liked the narration of this book, the story itself was pretentious and a drag. Taken in by the literary reviews of this book, it's a typical overhyped manuscript.
The narrator and the sound quality from Audible is fine, but avoidable unless you're into morose and drug-themed stories. Some poetic metaphors are the only redeeming factor. Will pick up other titles from Audible now.
