We will be discussing The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga.  Copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.  The book club is free and open to all!

 

Winner of the 2008 Man Booker Prize for fiction, The White Tiger is the story of the son of a rickshaw puller.   Balram is taken out of school by his family and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape.

The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram’s journey from darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.

There’s Julia Stovall, the first lady of Alabama, whose picture-perfect veneer hiders dark secrets of the past; Lanier Sanders, whose husband won custody of their children after uncovering her affair; Astor Deveaux, a former Broadway showgirl who can’t keep her flirtations in check; and the courageous artist Corrine Cooper, whose inspiring story comes to life as the novel unfolds.
