A brilliant novel that can not be put down once it is picked up (Although it took me 3 years to finish...-_- ). Black humor, witty, yet very realistic...

評分其實, 如果某個中國作傢有勇氣從社會底層人的角度寫一本關於現在中國的小說, 結果會同樣令人震驚。但是,能用英語創作的大部分是海外作傢,和中國的現實脫離太久,要麼不停地翻陳芝麻爛榖子 , 要麼就故弄玄虛玩文字遊戲。而用中文創作的,要麼躲在象牙塔裏玩自我欣賞,小資情調,或不能真正觸到痛處的錶麵文章;要麼就不知道躲到哪裏去悲嘆瞭。
評分一口氣讀完,故事發展及其吸引人,作者用有點悲傷和無奈的口吻娓娓道來,讓讀者看到瞭另一麵的印度。這一麵不是從外國人角度能看到,所以纔更加真實。

阿拉文德·阿迪加一九七四年齣生於印度海港城市馬德拉斯,後移居澳大利亞。畢業後曾任《時代周刊》駐印度通訊記者,並為《金融時報》、《獨立報》、《星期日泰晤士報》等英國媒體撰稿。現居孟買。《白老虎》是其處女作。
Aravind Adiga's extraordinary and brilliant first novel takes the form of a series of letters to Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, from Balram Halwai, the Bangalore businessman who is the self-styled “White Tiger” of the title. Bangalore is the Silicon Valley of the subcontinent, and on the eve of a state visit by Jiabao, our entrepreneur Halwai wishes to impart something of the new India to the Chinese premier - “out of respect for the love of liberty shown by the Chinese people, and also in the belief that the future of the world lies with the yellow man and the brown man now that our erstwhile master, the white-skinned man, has wasted himself through buggery, mobile phone usage and drug abuse”.
Halwai's lesson about the new India is drawn from the rags-to-riches story of his own life. For Halwai, the son of a rural rickshaw-puller, is from the “Darkness”: “Please understand, Your Excellency, that India is two countries in one: an India of Light, and an India of Darkness. The ocean brings light to my country. Every place on the map of India near the ocean is well-off. But the river brings darkness to India - the black river.”
The black river is the Ganges, beloved of the sari-and-spices tourist image of India. (“No! - Mr Jiabao, I urge you not to dip in the Ganga, unless you want your mouth full of faeces, straw, soggy parts of human bodies, buffalo carrion, and seven different kinds of industrial acids.”)
At first, this novel seems like a straightforward pulled-up-by-your-bootstraps tale, albeit given a dazzling twist by the narrator's sharp and satirical eye for the realities of life for India's poor. (“In the old days there were 1,000 castes...in India. These days, there are just two castes: Men with Big Bellies, and Men with Small Bellies.”) But as the narrative draws the reader further in, and darkens, it becomes clear that Adiga is playing a bigger game. For The White Tiger stands at the opposite end of the spectrum of representations of poverty from those images of doe-eyed children that dominate our electronic media - that sentimentalise poverty and even suggest that there may be something ennobling in it. Halwai's lesson in The White Tiger is that poverty creates monsters, and he himself is just such a monster.
从没想要在豆瓣上评点什么。看了白老虎,实在是忍不住了。随便写点。 标题其实已经把我的意思表达完毕了。这段直接就算是我给阿迪加的几句吧。阿迪加啊,你这家伙年纪不大,大概不介意我称呼一声老兄吧。那么老兄,我实在是很敬佩你啊,你这玩意,给中国的触动应该不下于印度...
評分 評分13年游走印度的时候我一直有不解,跟中国相比那些不收门票的寺庙总是香火极旺当地信徒虔诚敬拜人数极多,可“以XXX神的名义向你保证”却也是商贩们讨价还价的常用语调。比如在瓦拉纳西看宗教仪式,跑过来当导游的小伙子会首先警告你尊重仪式不能拍照,而后会带你到旁边选取一个...
評分抱着好奇的心开始看这本书,起初对印度北部农村的一些陋习感到好笑,渐渐地,心情变得沉重,透过小说表面戏虐 的描述,我看到的是鸡笼般桎梏人性的压抑,穷苦大众也好,富商也罢,抑或高科技产业的从业人员,无不是生活在鸡笼中,耗费生命和智慧的挣扎。正如小说中提及的人们到...
評分吃人么? 就是这样的现实。 能让人忍俊不禁看完的现实。 作者笔下形容的黑色的蛋,包不住所有人,总会有只金黄的鸟,冲破蛋壳,用碎片,释放自己。 印度有牛,有人,有牛人,有神。 只是,想到咱中国, 中国的老虎已经绝种了吧,笼子外面的,只有跳跳虎在卖萌
