The White Tiger By Aravind Adiga

A BOLD, IRREVERENT, AND UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY THROUGH THE TWO INDIAS.

Winner of the 2008 Man Booker Prize, The White Tiger introduces us to Balram Halwai—a man who is many things: a servant, a philosopher, an entrepreneur, and, by his own admission, a murderer. Born into the "darkness" of a poor Indian village, Balram’s life is defined by struggle until he lands a job as a chauffeur for a wealthy landlord in Delhi. It is from the driver's seat of a Honda City that he begins to understand the ruthless machinery of power and the price of success.

Aravind Adiga’s debut novel is a brilliant, dark, and utterly gripping exploration of modern India. With Balram as our guide, we are shown the stark divide between those who have and those who have not, and the desperate, often violent, lengths one might go to in order to escape their cage. Brilliantly irreverent and deeply compelling, this is a story that challenges, disturbs, and refuses to be forgotten.

Why this book is a must-read:

• A Booker Prize Masterpiece: A globally acclaimed novel celebrated for its sharp wit and unflinching social commentary.
