Sammendrag: In the early 80s, Gregory David Roberts, an armed robber and heroin addict, escaped from an Australian prison to India, where he lived in a Bombay slum. There, he established a free health clinic and also joined the mafia, working as a money launderer, forger, and street soldier. He found time to learn Hindi and Marathi, fall in love, and spend time in an Indian jail. [...] It's a profound tribute to his willpower. At once a high-kicking, eye-gouging adventure, a love saga, and a savage yet tenderly lyrical fugitive vision.
