Introducing a major literary talent, The White Tiger offers a story of coruscating wit, blistering suspense, and questionable morality, told by the most volatile, captivating, and utterly inimitable narrator that this millennium has yet seen. Balram Halwai is a complicated man. Servant. Philosopher. Entrepreneur. Murderer. Over the course of seven nights, by the scattered light of a preposterous chandelier, Balram tells us the terrible and transfixing story of how he came to be a success in life -- having nothing but his own wits to help him along. Born in the dark heart of India, Balram gets a break when he is hired as a driver for his village's wealthiest man, two house Pomeranians (Puddles and Cuddles), and the rich man's (very unlucky) son. From behind the wheel of their Honda City car, Balram's new world is a revelation. While his peers flip through the pages of Murder Weekly ("Love -- Rape -- Revenge!"), barter for girls, drink liquor (Thunderbolt), and perpetuate the Great Rooster Coop of Indian society, Balram watches his employers bribe foreign ministers for tax breaks, barter for girls, drink liquor (single-malt whiskey), and play their own role in the Rooster Coop. Balram learns how to siphon gas, deal with corrupt mechanics, and refill and resell Johnnie Walker Black Label bottles (all but one). He also finds a way out of the Coop that no one else inside it can perceive. Balram's eyes penetrate India as few outsiders can: the cockroaches and the call centers; the prostitutes and the worshippers; the ancient and Internet cultures; the water buffalo and, trapped in so many kinds of cages that escape is (almost) impossible, the white tiger. And with a charisma as undeniable as it is unexpected, Balram teaches us that religion doesn't create virtue, and money doesn't solve every problem -- but decency can still be found in a corrupt world, and you can get what you want out of life if you eavesdrop on the right conversations. Sold in sixteen countries around the world, The White Tiger recalls The Death of Vishnu and Bangkok 8 in ambition, scope, and 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.

This is first book I ever read about India, which recommended by a financial theory professor. But I don't think he implies us to follow the strategy of Balram to become an "entrepreneur" by murdering his master, taking possession of his money which suppose...

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

在豆瓣开了一个专栏,主要写投资与自我管理方面,欢迎关注:http://read.douban.com/column/93927/ 靖昀兄推荐,阅读体验很奇妙。感谢。 我估记此篇在未来会被拍成电影。 一方面里面的故事内容是虚构的;另一方面作者文笔相当生动,而本人又对印度了解得不多,看过《贫民窟...

对于印度,我向来一无所知。 《白老虎》的叙事有点儿像小说版的A Slumdog Millionaire,一个没念过多少书,出身低级种姓的人如何成为了“企业家”。陆建德的后记里说,小说的内容不可全当做真,但是其中人性的真实与隐喻的力量又怎能让人视而不见呢?(顺说,我对小陆的印象真...

真好啊,1974年出生的人,就已经能写出这么好的小说。 印度真是不可小觑。 有意思的是小说竟然是一个黑手起家的企业家写给中国总理的七封长信。 不难看出,年轻的作者甚至认为过去的那种种姓阶级制度都比现在这样“吃人与被吃”的社会状态要幸福美满得多。就像,呵呵,其实...
