THERE'S A CASTE SYSTEM –— EVEN IN MURDER
Vicky Rai, the son of a high-profile Minister, has been shot dead by one of the guests at his own party. They are a glitzy bunch, but among them the police find six strange, displaced characters with a gun in their possession, each of them steaming with a secret motive.
India's wiliest investigative journalist, Arun Advani, makes it his mission to nail the murderer. In doing so, the amazing, tender and touching, techni-colour lives of six eccentric characters unravel before our eyes. But can we trust Advani? Or does he have another agenda in mind....
A dazzling mystery, a rivetting whodunnit, a kaleidoscopic portrait of modern India.
IT革命导致资讯过度膨胀,带来的一个后果是:无论你乐不乐意,都再没法闭上眼睛。无论你乐不乐意,必然会接受大量信息。无论你乐不乐意,就会了解其实未必想要知道的事情——有时是事实。 所以我在使用“恒河沙数”这个词时会皱起眉头,想到河中漂浮的、肚皮鼓胀的尸首。 小时...
评分丨这篇书评可能有关键情节透露 @书单来了 2018-1-16 这本书是《贫民窟的百万富翁》作者的第二本小说。这本书在结构、故事、以及对印度社会的剖析上,全面比第一本还要好! 无恶不作的政客之子、青年富商维奇·拉伊,在众目睽睽之下,枪杀了酒吧女侍,结果却被无罪释放。就在维...

评分“谋杀,一如所有的艺术品,引发诠释,排斥解释。” 给我的震撼太多,不是来自情节的发展,更多的是现今印度人扭曲的价值观。如果你想了解一个国家,就一定要去了解当地人的种种实际,否则就会像一些外国人一样,以为中国人还用毛笔写字,穿着大掛衣,男人梳着长辫种种。
评分其实这个真的不是悬疑小说,而是。。。。。纪实小说!真相,就是这么残酷。 小说的情节环环紧扣,几个主人公的人生交错发展,不同背景反应印度社会不同的黑暗面,有时候看得我都牙齿咬紧了,恨不得和坏人直接PK。这样的小说,如果是中国作家写的,估计是出版不了的...
