Official synopsis Publisher
Dear Jamshed,
American is not so different from what we thought. I told you I wouldn’t see a single cowboy riding across the plain, and I haven’t.
I have not even seen a plain.
Still there are some silver linings. They are:
1. Trapper and King, the cat and dog who live in the apartment building. They are cuddly and waggy. I am not allowed to play with them, though, because they are supposed to catch mice and keep burglars away.
2. Ironman. He owns a pig and talks to me a lot. But he is a grown-up.
3. Kids. I can hear them playing outside. Too bad they do not want to play with me.
I wish you were here.
Do you wish I was in India?
Write back soon.
Your friend,
Lowji
