The October Book is Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity
By Katherine Boo
This is a 2012 award-winning work of narrative nonfiction by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Katherine Boo. The book explores the stark realities of living in a makeshift squatter settlement near the Mumbai International Airport, next to luxury hotels. It explores the stark realities of extreme poverty, rapid economic growth, systemic corruption, and human resilience in modern India.(Amazon.com)
