___________

Here's a strange fact: murder a man, and you feel responsible for his life - possessive, even. You know more about him than his father and mother; they knew his foetus, but you know his corpse.

Meet Balram Halwai, the 'White Tiger': servant, philosopher, entrepreneur... murderer. Balram was born in a backwater village on the River Ganges, the son of a rickshaw-puller. He works in a teashop, crushing coal and wiping tables, but nurses a dream of escape. When he learns that a rich village landlord needs a chauffeur, he takes his opportunity, and is soon on his way to Delhi at the wheel of a Honda. Amid cockroaches, call-centres, thirty-six-million gods, slums, shopping malls, and crippling traffic jams, Balram comes to see how the Tiger might slip the bars of his cage.

The White Tiger Reviews

Blazingly savage and brilliant -- Sunday Telegraph
A masterpiece -- The Times
Dazzling -- Independent on Sunday
Suffused with mordant wit -- Neel Mukherjee
Adiga's portrait of the Indian capital is very funny but unmistakably angry... Keeps you guessing to the final page and beyond. -- Financial Times
[An] extraordinary and brilliant first novel... Adiga is a real writer - that is to say, someone who forges an original voice and vision. -- Sunday Times
