The book focuses on the residents of one kotha and looks beyond the conventional image of Delhi's red-light district. The women described in the book raise children, maintain relationships, visit temples, shrines and mosques, interact with pimps and brothel owners, and negotiate the realities of earning a living through sex work. Soofi documents these lives with sensitivity and detailed observation.
Mayank Austen Soofi is an Indian writer, photographer and chronicler of Delhi. He is known for The Delhi Walla, his website and blog documenting the city's neighbourhoods, people, cultures and everyday life. He has also written alternative guidebooks to Delhi. His work is distinguished by his close observation of the city's lesser-known communities and spaces.
Nobody Can Love You More moves into the everyday world of Delhi's G.B. Road through the lives of women working in its red-light district. Instead of presenting them simply as victims or stereotypes, Soofi examines their ordinary routines, relationships, families, religious practices and economic realities. The book combines social observation with photography to create a human portrait of a marginalized community and to explore the complex realities surrounding sex work in urban India.
