{"product_id":"the-white-tiger-a-novel","title":"The White Tiger: A Novel","description":"NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE | Winner of the Booker Prize\n\n“This is the authentic voice of the Third World, like you've never heard it before.” —John Burdett, author of Bangkok 8\n\nThe debut novel from the author of Amnesty and Selection Day Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger is a darkly comic and unflinching look at modern India’s caste system, poverty, corruption, and ambition.\n\nAt the heart of the novel is Balram Halwai, the so-called “white tiger”—a rare creature who rises against the odds. Born in a poor Indian village, Balram becomes a driver for a wealthy family in Delhi before reinventing himself as a self-made Bangalore entrepreneur. As he recounts his journey in a letter to the visiting president of China, Balram exposes the contradictions of Indian society, where deep-rooted traditions of servitude and inequality collide with the promise of global business and outsourcing.\n\nWickedly funny, brutally honest, and deeply provocative, The White Tiger reveals the stark realities of class, corruption, and opportunity in contemporary India. Amoral yet strangely endearing, Balram’s voice pulls readers into a world both dazzling and unsettling.\n\nWith its biting social commentary and sharp storytelling, The White Tiger stands as one of the most important works of 21st-century Indian literature—a bold satire and a powerful portrait of ambition and survival.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1416562605\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.1416562605.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Adiga, Aravind\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition and has little to no writing, underlining, and or highlighting.
