Shuklaji街就座落在这座高架桥附近,它是孟买与鸦片的最后联系。它不像一个街道 Jeet Thayil处女作《Narcopolis》的主人公说。因为这里是罪恶中心:嫖娼,毒品交易,小偷小摸盛行。Dom Ullis讲述孟买与毒品的渊源,仿佛置身于150年前孟买毒品伊始到结束的场景。
Dom drifts in and out of Rashid s, an old-fashioned opium den where pipewallahs prepareyour smoke for you and serenity prevails. Rashid s is a clearing house for characters andstories. Dom meets Rumi, a wife-beater and failed businessman; he brings Xavier, an angryold artist; he befriends Dimple, a eunuch prostitute who in turn tells the story of Mr Lee, aChinese exile. Then there is Rashid himself, who watchesand fruitlessly resistsas hisgraceful world of opium-eaters is rendered obsolete by the nightmare of low-gradeheroin. Mumbai forgets opium as those who loved it either die or burn out their brains.
Dom漫步在一个老式的鸦片窝点拉希德, 在那里有人为你准备好烟卷,寂静袭来。拉希德是各色人物进出和讲述众多故事的场所。Dom遇到鲁米,鲁米实施家庭暴力,曾经经商却一败涂地;DOM引荐了一个愤怒的老艺术家泽维尔;并和男妓 Dimple成了朋友,Dimple讲述一个遭流放的中国人李先生的故事。还有房子的主人拉西德徒劳的抵抗当看着自己优雅的鸦片世界被梦幻般劣质海洛因遗忘。那些吸食鸦片的人或者死亡或者冲昏了头脑,孟买也被鸦片遗忘。
