In Friend of My Youth, a novelist named Amit Chaudhuri visits his childhood home of Bombay. The city, reeling from the impact of the 2008 terrorist attacks, weighs heavily on Amits mind, as does the unexpected absence of his childhood friend Ramu, a drifting, opaque figure who is Amits last remaining connection to the city he once called home.
