In Aravind Adiga’s Booker Prize winning novel, The White Tiger, Balram Halwai claws his way from darkness to light, serving satire as sharp as his entrepreneurial instincts. Adiga's India is raw, roaring, and unapologetically corrupt – a state of jungle law, where only cunning predators survive. Balram’s journey from teashop boy to businessman is a rags-to-riches journey one morally murky decision at a time.

Segnalibri sonoriEp.76: Aravind Adiga, "La Tigre Bianca", EinaudiMi è appena capitato di rileggere il romanzo con cui l’allora esordiente Aravind Adiga vinse il Booker Prize del 2008 e da cui è stato tratto un film con lo stesso titolo. Devo dire che ho ritrovato intatto il piacere di immergermi nella sua prosa caustica, amara e al contempo piena di spirito. Il particolare impasto di comicità e crudezza, sarcasmo e dramma è uno dei punti forti del libro, dove si racconta l’ascesa del protagonista, Balram, dall’estrema miseria di un villaggio nell’India rurale al successo imprenditoriale a Bangalore, vivace centro della nuova economia tecnologica.Buon ascolto e a presto da

Minha Estante ColoridaTigre Branco[Ficção] Resenha do livro "White Tiger" de Aravind Adiga. A resenha escrita está nesse link.
Esse é um romance que conta a saga de um empreendedor indiano que nasceu na casta errada (teoricamente, ele devia passar a vida fazendo doces), mas resolve mudar seu destino.
O protagonista se despe de qualquer escrúpulo em busca da sobrevivência e de seu objetivo; ele é cruel e inocente ao mesmo tempo.
É meio assustador ver como as coisas são surreais na Índia; mais assustador é perceber que no Brasil nem é tão diferente assim...

Festival della MenteAravind Adiga, Marcello Fois - Nella rete: narrare le famiglie - Festival della Mente 2017Un dialogo fra due scrittori sulle infinite trame della rete familiare corrisponde a far entrare due bambini in un negozio di giocattoli. Paternità, maternità, fratellanza, sororanza, sono sistemi attraverso i quali si è potuto raccontare ogni storia possibile. Faccende di ordinaria straordinarietà che, da qualche millennio, ci aprono, magicamente, le porte della narrazione. Caino e Abele sono fratelli, esattamente come i Karamazov o i Tanner. Le sorelle che anelano a Mosca sono tre esattamente come quelle Brontë che anelavano all’immortalità.
