Aravind Adiga's - The White Tiger
Indian novelist Aravind Adiga was named the winner of UK's prestigious £50,000 Man Booker Prize for Fiction. Over and above his prize of £50,000, Adiga may expect a huge increase in sales and recognition worldwide. Each of the six shortlisted authors, including the winner, receives £2,500 and a designer-bound edition of their book. The judging panel for the 2008 Man Booker Prize for Fiction comprised: Michael Portillo, former MP and Cabinet Minister; Alex Clark, editor of Granta; Louise Doughty, novelist; James Heneage, founder of Ottakar's bookshops; and Hardeep Singh Kohli, TV and radio broadcaster.
'The Wite Tiger' is the story of Balram Halwai, the White Tiger, born in the heartland of India to the son of a rickshaw puller, who dreams of escaping his life as a teashop worker turned chauffeur.
Yet when his chance finally arrives and his eyes are opened to the revelatory city of New Delhi, Balram becomes caught between his instinct to be a loyal son and servant and his desire to better himself.
As he passes through two different Indias on his journey from the darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success, he begins to realise how the Tiger might finally escape his cage, and he is not afraid to spill a little blood along the way.
Adiga was born in Madras on 23 October 1974 and raised partly in Australia. He studied at Columbia and Oxford Universities and is a former correspondent for Time magazine in India.
Adiga's articles have also appeared in publications such as the Financial Times, Independent and Sunday Times. He currently lives in Mumbai.
