Description The White Tiger is the debut novel by Indian author Aravind Adiga. It was first published in 2008 and won the 40th Man Booker Prize in the same year. The novel provides a darkly humorous perspective of India’s class struggle in a globalized world as told through a retrospective narration from Balram Halwai, a village boy. In detailing Balram's journey first to Delhi, where he works as a chauffeur to a rich landlord, and then to Bangalore, the place to which he flees after killing his master and stealing his money, the novel examines issues of religion, caste, loyalty, corruption and poverty in India. Ultimately, Balram transcends his sweet-maker caste and becomes a successful entrepreneur, establishing his own taxi service. In a nation proudly shedding a history of poverty and underdevelopment, he represents, as he himself says, "tomorrow."The novel has been well-received, making the New York Times bestseller list in addition to winning the Man Booker Prize.<ref name=amazon>

its blatant, almost shameless, superb and very detail.
The book is written in/as first person, in the form of letters addressed by the protagonist to the Premiers of China. The narrative is gripping in its blatant, almost shameless, superb and very detail. The humour is bit less and the style of the narrative is generally bleak. The characters are uni-dimensional as indeed they would appear to such a person as the narrator who sees only a few facets of each person. The digressions are few and it holds tightly to plot, giving it a racy character which makes it hard to put down even even there are less wow moments.
