Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: [MP3CD audiobook format in vinyl case.]
Like Dave Eggers's Zeitoun and Alexander Masters' Stuart, this is a tour de force of narrative reportage an intimate portrait of an invisible man.
Mohammed Ashraf studied biology and then became a butcher, a tailor, and an electrician's apprentice; now he is a homeless day laborer in the heart of Old Delhi. How did he end up this way? In an astonishing debut, Aman Sethi brings Ashraf and his indelible group of friends to life through their adventures and misfortunes in the Old Delhi railway station, the harrowing wards of a tuberculosis hospital, an illegal bar made of cardboard and plywood, and then into Beggars Court and back onto the streets.
In a time of global economic strain, this is an unforgettable evocation of persistence in the face of poverty in one of the world's largest cities. Sethi recounts Ashraf's surprising life story with wit, candor, and verve, and A Free Man becomes a moving story of the many ways a man can be free.
