The White Tiger By Aravind Adiga

Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2008Meet Balram Halwai, the 'white tiger': servant, philosopher, entrepreneur, murderer…Born in a village in the dark heart of India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coal and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape. His big chance comes when a rich landlord hires him as a chauffeur for his son, daughter-in-law, and their two Pomeranian dogs. From behind the wheels of a Honda, Balram sees Delhi and begins to see how the Tiger might escape his cage. For surely any successful man must spill a little blood on his way to the top?The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram's journey from the darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.

Review

"Balram's rise from rickshaw-puller's son to mega-successful Bangalore entrepreneur is a psychological crime thriller stuffed with uncomfortable insights into the ugly underbelly of India's political and social divisions ... Brilliantly savage." (OBSERVER)

Moving, illuminating, funny and shocking, and written with huge measures of heart and intellect, Adiga's novel was a worthy winner of last year's Man Booker prize. (SUNDAY TIMES)

I'm now going to say how brilliantly Kerry Shale reads the new Man Booker prize winner about a ruthless rickshaw-puller's son. ..He's ruthless, but he's also hugely engaging and, most of all, funny. Shale's accent doesn't detract, it enhances. It's what good audiobooks are all about. (GUARDIAN)

On the page, this novel is a worthy winner of the Man Booker prize ... yet it ups its game a thousandfold when read by the truly phenomenal Kerry Shale. It's near impossible to believe that one person could bring a cast of magnificently various Indian voices so raucously to life. But he does. It is a tour de force. (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
