A six-foot-tall Kannadiga and one-time junkie who cannot reconcile himself to modern-day adult life, Ramu is an unlikely hero, Bombay incarnate; the writer is his mirrored counterpart in an extraordinary narrative about this city by the sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFriend of My Youth is at once an unexpected exploration and a concentrated reminiscence woven around a series of visits to a city that was never really home; a commentary on the power of memory and the stubborn interference of childhood with adult life; a paean to the transformative power of friendship by one of our greatest living writers.","brand":"Used Good | Hardcover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37000073117859,"sku":"9780670089673-r1-e2-2129","price":99.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/3857\/8002\/products\/51l_DVoGmwL.SY400.jpg?v=1605475883","url":"https:\/\/www.worthing.in\/products\/9780670089673-r1-e2-2129","provider":"Worthing.in","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
