Author Biography
Aravind Adiga was born in Madras in 1974 and was raised partly in Australia. He studied at Columbia and Oxford Universities. A former correspondent in India for TIME magazine, his articles have also appeared in publications like The Financial Times, The Independent, and The Sunday Times. He lives in Mumbai.
Synopsis
Born in a village in heartland India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school by his family and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape - of breaking away from the banks of Mother Ganga, into whose depths have seeped the remains of a hundred generations.
The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram’s journey from darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.

從沒想要在豆瓣上評點什麼。看瞭白老虎,實在是忍不住瞭。隨便寫點。 標題其實已經把我的意思錶達完畢瞭。這段直接就算是我給阿迪加的幾句吧。阿迪加啊,你這傢夥年紀不大,大概不介意我稱呼一聲老兄吧。那麼老兄,我實在是很敬佩你啊,你這玩意,給中國的觸動應該不下於印度...

評分真好啊,1974年齣生的人,就已經能寫齣這麼好的小說。 印度真是不可小覷。 有意思的是小說竟然是一個黑手起傢的企業傢寫給中國總理的七封長信。 不難看齣,年輕的作者甚至認為過去的那種種姓階級製度都比現在這樣“吃人與被吃”的社會狀態要幸福美滿得多。就像,嗬嗬,其實...
評分This is first book I ever read about India, which recommended by a financial theory professor. But I don't think he implies us to follow the strategy of Balram to become an "entrepreneur" by murdering his master, taking possession of his money which suppose...

評分想去印度但是又十分害怕。看完這本書的感覺就和貧民窟的百萬富翁的感覺一樣,覺得印度雖然黑暗但處處有機會,但其實這是一本反烏托邦、完全暴露印度社會黑亮兩極分化的現實小說。語言十分詼諧幽默。
