On the occasion of the president of China's 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"-- $c Amazon.com. 586 $a Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2008. 600 10 $a Halwai, Balram $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chauffeurs $z Bangalore $z Bangalore $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Poor $z Bangalore $z Bangalore $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ambition $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Businesspeople $z Bangalore $z Bangalore $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man Booker Prize. 651 0 $a Bangalore (India) $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064449.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=782D8EE4EAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
