The book moves through different parts of Mumbai, bringing together fragments and episodes involving crowded trains, traffic, poverty, housing struggles, prostitution, social divisions and ordinary urban encounters. Its experimental style blends fiction, poetry and observation to create a vivid picture of contemporary city life.
Altaf Tyrewala is an Indian writer born in Mumbai in 1977. He studied in New York and is known for his distinctive, experimental approach to contemporary Indian fiction. His other works include No God in Sight and Mumbai Noir.
Ministry of Hurt Sentiments presents Mumbai as a city of extremes, where humour and hardship, beauty and brutality, and ordinary life and social injustice exist side by side. Through short, energetic pieces and poetic observations, Tyrewala explores the lives of people from different backgrounds.
The book's fragmented structure reflects the restless rhythm of a huge metropolis, while its irony and dark humour draw attention to difficult social realities. Together, the pieces form a compelling literary portrait of Mumbai and its inhabitants.
