When Joshua King's father dies of a Viagra overdose, he leaves his son a fortune - on condition that Josh writes a bestselling novel. But the last thing Josh wants is a purpose in life; he's far too busy travelling, taking drugs and growing his hair. Now, uncomfortably ensconced in dirty, downtown Delhi, still desperately searching for inspiration, Josh reckons he's on to the Big One. Which is to find, befriend and finally unmask the subcontinent's legendary drug baron, Baba. Add the beautiful and elusive Yasmin to the plot, and Josh finds himself enmeshed in a quest so unbelievable it must surely give him scope for a novel. But three months later, abandoned, penniless and starving in Mumbai's Caged City, selling heroin to street kids and wanted for questioning after the murder of a Bollywood superstar, Josh is discovering the dangers of fiction. It is all far too real. Fantastical, funny, provocative and wise: Paperback Raita is the story of what happens when the dreaming stops, the drugs wear off and the writing has to begin. Paperback.

Mass Market Paperback. Condizione: Very Good ( Crease on cover). No Jacket. First Edition in Paperback. Withdrawn by the publishers for the following reason: News item January 2004 "Director gets compensation over novel" "Award-winning film director Kaizad Gustad has accepted undisclosed compensation over a novel about a drug-smuggling film-maker called Faizad Gerstad who is implicated in murder. Mr Gustad, who made a widely acclaimed feature film called Bombay Boys, brought High Court libel proceedings against William Rhode, the author of Paperback Raita, and publishers Simon & Schuster (UK) Ltd. His solicitor-advocate, Korieh Duodu, told Mr Justice Eady in London that the two men were good friends but lost touch when Mr Rhode left India in 1996. He said that Mr Gustad was deeply hurt by the book as the characteristics which its anti-hero, Faizad Gerstad, shared with him led his family, friends and acquaintances to associate them. Mr Duodu said that in the book, Gerstad smuggled drugs in order to fund his film projects and attempted to make a film called Bombay Boys with Channel 4 Films but the project collapsed. Gerstad was also implicated in the murder of his business partner Ajay, but was subsequently cleared of the crime. Mr Duodu said that Mr Gustad had never smuggled drugs or been implicated in murder. His film, Bombay Boys, was not made with Channel 4. Solicitor David Hooper said that the book was written by the author as a work of fiction and contained a notice to that effect on the copyright page. The publishers had no knowledge of the coincidence of the contentious names and circumstances when it was published - as a trade paperback in 2002 and a mass market paperback in 2003. When complaint was made, the book was promptly withdrawn. It went without saying that they accepted that there was no basis in fact for any resemblance between Mr Gustad's character and actions in life and the objectionable traits of the fictitious Gerstad. The publishers and the author apologised for any embarrassment or distress caused" So an uncommon book! Size: Mass Market Paperback. Not Inscribed or Signed.
