Description

In his tenth book, Raghubir Singh turns his lens to Bombay, the city known as the Gateway of India. Featuring a profound conversation with the distinguished writer V. S. Naipaul, the book explores the methods and motivations behind Singh’s work. Singh captures the vibrant diversity and the “telling details” of the great Indian metropolis, moving through its streets during a period of significant social and political change. Naipaul notes that these pictures are not merely to be looked at, but “read” for their deep narrative and mastery of color.
