These guys come over there too, but they're so full of second-hand garbage they can't see what's real if they try. They're the night club crew.

Vividly, Author Campbell makes the reader experience the suffocating, insect-filled heat of India, the pervasiveness of religion and sex-often in combination-the desperation of the poor and the rapacity...
