Then he rolled up a note and snorted the last of his wife's ashes... When Ullis discovers that his wife Aki has committed suicide, he escapes to Bombay with a bag of drugs for one final party. On the plane, he finds himself sitting by a glamorous society lady called Payal, and a friendship of sorts blooms into life. Over the coming days they embark on a whirlwind of self-destructive misadventures as Ullis attempts to mask his grief through excessive narcotics, resulting in episodes of increasing dysfunctionality that flirt with total self-obliteration - and perhaps a kind of resolution."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Widowers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-destructive behavior $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drug abuse $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mumbai (India) $v Fiction. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780571356430 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103013731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DEE908CBC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
