Malachy McCourt, actor and author of the best-selling A Monk
Swimming, writes on Bombay, India—his personal place of a
lifetime—in the May/June issue.
Here McCourt talks vividly of
Bombay’s unique soul and tells the tale of his smuggling days in
1961, when he journeyed from Zurich to Bombay to deliver 20
kilograms (54 pounds) of gold. (To hear McCourt, you’ll need the
free RealPlayer plug-in.)
