La muerte de Vishnu

In this Publisher's Weekly bestseller the story of Vishnu is told, as he lies unconscious in the stairs of a building in Bombay in which he works as a doorman. Tired, drunk and poor, nobody wants to become responsible for him. As he lies dying, he drifts through increasingly vivid scenes from his past. The apartment where Vishnu spends his final hours acts as a microcosm of Indian society loaded with humor and tenderness.
