A wandering Jew who doesn't belong, Hugo Baumgartner spent his childhood in pre-war Berlin and some of his adult life doing business in Calcutta and then Bombay. But no matter where he goes he remains a foreigner, considered too dark for Hitler's society and too fair for India.
'Baumgartner's Bombay' recovers a lost slice of history in its portrayal of a wounded survivor. It is full of sharp perceptions about human nature under the skin, whatever the colour.
