In 1934, a book was written that interwove the stories of a French priest, a rickshaw driver and an American doctor, all living in one of Calcutta’s most devastating slums that was known, ironically, as Anand Nagar, or "The City of Joy." This nickname has since been appended to the city as a whole, a place that I have gotten to know over the past few weeks. So over the next several days, I’ll be doing a three-part series on this city with the title City of Joy. They will be two writing posts and a photo slideshow. Look for the first entry on Tuesday.
