Three Flights Down is a pure work of fiction that bears little or no resemblance to events in real life. After all, which fiction novelist is going to say his book is based on a true story? I for example, clearly am not. But if you, the reader, have by chance picked up this book, know this. This book is about love. Not the kind of love that we see every day, but a different kind of love, a love that finds place in-between sheets and in between friendships. It is about a city and it is about a society that is yet to come to terms with the fact that its era has long gone while yet remaining hopeful for a future which is yet to come. It's a story about people who live in a city and get trapped by the sheer emotional whirlwind that comes with it. It also has jokes.
