New York: Free Press / Simon & Schuster, (2008). First edition - The author's first novel, winner of the Man-Booker award (only the fourth Indian writer to receive this), and basis of the 1921 film of the same name. "Halwai, the narrator, is a modern Indian hero. In a nation proudly shedding a history of poverty and underdevelopment, he represents, as he himself says, tomorrow but it's a more complicated story than Balram initially lets on. Before moving to Bangalore, he was a driver for the son of a feudal landlord. One rainy day in Delhi, he crushed the skull of his employer and stole a bag containing a large amount of money, capital that financed his Bangalore taxi business. That business ferrying technology workers to and from their jobs depends, in turn, on keeping the police happy with the occasional bribe. As a parable of the new India, then, his tale has a distinctly macabre twist. He is not only an entrepreneur but a roguish criminal with a remarkable capacity for self-justification, and the background against which he operates is not just a resurgent economy and nation but a landscape of corruption, inequality and poverty." Promotional material laid in. 276 pp.
