Vikas Swarup's spectacular debut novel opens in a jail cell in Mumbai, India, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is being held after correctly answering all twelve questions on India's biggest quiz show, "Who Will Win a Billion?" It is hard to believe that a poor orphan who has never read a newspaper or gone to school could win such a contest. But through a series of exhilarating tales Ram explains to his lawyer how episodes in his life gave him the answer to each question.Ram takes us on an amazing review of his own history -- from the day he was found as a baby in the clothes donation box of a Delhi church to his employment by a faded Bollywood star to his adventure with a security-crazed Australian army colonel to his career as an overly creative tour guide at the Taj Mahal.Swarup's "Q and A" is a beguiling blend of high comedy, drama, and romance that reveals how we know what we know -- not just about trivia, but about life itself. Cutting across humanity in all its squalor and glory, Vikas Swarup presents a kaleidoscopic vision of the struggle between good and evil -- and what happens when one boy has no other choice in life but to survive.

評分 評分于海生的翻译非常棒，让我这种没有阅读英文原著能力的读者真实的体会到拉姆的情感，那种被困麻氓手下时的彷徨无助，那种和尼塔在泰姬陵欣赏月色时爆棚的幸福感，还有抱着祥哥儿走进宴会厅的决绝和绝望等等不胜枚举。 一本小说，十三个衔接紧密又各成文章的小故事...

评分還不錯
评分記不清讀中文版時候的感受瞭，但是原著每一個故事都讓我顫栗。每一個問題都是揭露瞭血淋淋的社會問題：性彆歧視，職業乞丐，間諜活動，暴力犯罪…一個18歲少年因為背負的東西太沉重，麵對的社會太絕望，讓他活的小心翼翼，不敢期許未來。閱讀起來酣暢淋灕，故事驚險有趣，每個故事既獨立又有所聯係，適閤我們這種上班纍一天讀完瞭一章就睡星人。
评分This is the first English novel I have ever read through.
