One of my favorite books of all time is Shantaram.
It's a true story about a Kiwi guy who escapes jail in Australia, finds himself in 1980s Bombay, learns Marathi, lives in a slum, becomes the highest ranking white guy in the Mumbai Mafia and fights in the Jihad in Afghanistan. https://t.co/OggtBpZMPW
@thesamparr Ooh! Check out Shantaram! It’s magnificent! The true story (in novel / memoir format) of an Aussie heroin addict who gets arrested after a string of armed robberies, breaks out of jail in broad daylight, and escapes to India in the 70s. It’s a beautiful story. https://t.co/4WyBIgoAC9
Waiting for nothing, that is what kills the heart of a man, isn’t it? Now the people are waiting for something.
