(starred review) AnnotationAravind Adiga's THE WHITE TIGER and his uncouth and murderous narrator completely shatter the exotic picture of India that has become a mainstay of literature for the last 50 years. Belram Halwai is an uneducated and violent denizen of India's bottom caste who manages to scrap and crawl his way to success as a chauffer, even if it means killing some of his elitist employers along the way. Filled with the crackling energy and violence of TAXI DRIVER, this novel exposes the sordid underbelly and vile class system of modern India.

By bookreviewer
The White Tiger is an eye-opening portrait of a New India - Though the middle
class is growing and Indian society is developing at an astounding pace, there
are still such significant inequalities between the classes and prejudices that
are deeply ingrained in the society. Not only is this book an illuminating
portrait of modern indian society, but it is a beautifully written, unique book.
Aravind Adiga won the Man Booker Prize for his debut novel, an honor The White
Tiger highly deserves. A great book from an interesting young writer.
