-- Gita Arnand (Pulitzer Prize-winning author)
In the summer of 2013, the author of a Mumbai-based microfinance nonprofit noticed a group of people coming for loans. They made a living from hand to mouth by collecting money-making garbage at a デオナール garbage dump on the edge of the city and selling it.
The garbage pile, a product of modern life that continually pursues its desires and tries to fill its hearts with things, reaches the height of a 20-story building. All the remains of dreams come to it, including rotten food, old scraps, broken glass, twisted metals, sometimes the remains of babies, the remains of brides, and medical waste. It's a vast garbage town where everyone can see it, but no one can see it. It begins a long relationship of more than eight years between the author and the residents.
As the toxic afterglow of the garbage pile (natural fires, toxic gases over the city) becomes visible and cannot be ignored, the control of the city becomes more explicit. Naturally, the people who live there (the district originated in the end of 19th century, during the colonial era of infectious diseases). While the foothold has become more fragile than ever before, the author has followed the lives of four families. There will come a moment that overlaps with what is happening in the country. It is an allegorical nonfiction with a mysterious deja vu.
