Standard\n'The anti-Slumdog Millionaire' Hollywood Reporter\n___________\n\nHere'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.\n\nMeet 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.\n\nReview\n\nBlazingly savage and brilliant --Sunday Telegraph\n\nA masterpiece --The Times\n\nDazzling --Independent on Sunday\n\nBook Description\n\nThe iconic Booker Prize-winner: an unforgettable novel of corruption, murder and twisted morality in contemporary India, now a Netflix film.\n\nAbout the Author\n\nAravind Adiga was born in Madras in 1974 and was raised in Australia.
