Reseña: A stunning literary debut critics have likened to Richard Wrights Native Son The White Tiger follows a darkly comic Bangalore driver through the poverty and corruption of modern Indias caste society. This is the authentic voice of the Third World like youve never heard it before (John Burdett Bangkok 8). The white tiger of this novel is Balram Halwai a poor Indian villager whose great ambition leads him to the zenith of Indian business culture the world of the Bangalore entrepreneur. On the occasion of the president of Chinas impending trip to Bangalore Balram writes a letter to him describing his transformation and his experience as driver and servant to a wealthy Indian family which he thinks exemplifies the contradictions and complications of Indian society. Recalling The Death of Vishnu and Bangkok 8 in ambition scope The White Tiger is narrative genius with a mischief and personality all its own. Amoral irreverent deeply endearing and utterly contemporary this novel is an international publishing sensation-and a startling provocative debut.
