阿拉文德·阿迪加一九七四年齣生於印度海港城市馬德拉斯,後移居澳大利亞。畢業後曾任《時代周刊》駐印度通訊記者,並為《金融時報》、《獨立報》、《星期日泰晤士報》等英國媒體撰稿。現居孟買。《白老虎》是其處女作。
Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be able to gain access to that world. As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous new India - by murdering his master."The White Tiger" presents a raw and unromanticised India, both thrilling and shocking - from the desperate, almost lawless villages along the Ganges, to the booming Wild South of Bangalore and its technology and outsourcing centres. The first-person confession of a murderer, "The White Tiger" is as compelling for its subject matter as for the voice of its narrator - amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.

評分在豆瓣開瞭一個專欄,主要寫投資與自我管理方麵,歡迎關注:http://read.douban.com/column/93927/ 靖昀兄推薦,閱讀體驗很奇妙。感謝。 我估記此篇在未來會被拍成電影。 一方麵裏麵的故事內容是虛構的;另一方麵作者文筆相當生動,而本人又對印度瞭解得不多,看過《貧民窟...
評分13年遊走印度的時候我一直有不解,跟中國相比那些不收門票的寺廟總是香火極旺當地信徒虔誠敬拜人數極多,可“以XXX神的名義嚮你保證”卻也是商販們討價還價的常用語調。比如在瓦拉納西看宗教儀式,跑過來當導遊的小夥子會首先警告你尊重儀式不能拍照,而後會帶你到旁邊選取一個...

拖拖拉拉,到瞭康提纔二刷完畢,和上次讀一樣我更感興趣主僕之間的張力,Balram謀殺的時候,鏡頭迴閃幼時和父親玩耍撫摸身體的情景,讓人有"弑父"的聯想。
