Description: Winner of the 2008 Man-Booker Prize for The White Tiger, Aravind Adiga now offers a blinding, brilliant, and brave mosaic of Indian life as it is lived in a place called Kittur, between the assassinations of Indira Gandhi in 1984 and Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. Kittur is an extraordinary crossroads of the brightest minds and the poorest morals, the up-and-coming and the downtrodden, and the poets and prophets of an India that modern literature has rarely addressed.
