The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

'Unlike almost any other Indian novel you might have read in recent years, this page-turner offers a completely bald, angry, unadorned portrait of the county as seen from the bottom of the heap; there's not a sniff of saffron or a swirl of sari anywhere... The Indian tourist board won't be pleased, but you'll read it in a trice and find yourself gripped.' Andrew Holgate, Sunday Times

'In the grand illusions of a 'rising' India, Aravind Adiga has found a subject Gogol might have enviedWith remorselessly and delightfully mordant wit The White Tiger anatomizes the fantastic cravings of the rich; it evokes, too, with starting accuracy and tenderness, the no less desperate struggles of the deprived.' Pankaj Mishra

Aravind Adiga was born in Madras in 1974. He has lived in India, Australia, America and the UK, and he currently lives in Mumbai. The White Tiger is his first novel.
