Aravind Adiga was born in Madras (now Chennai) and educated in the United States and England before working as a journalist in India. The White Tiger, his first novel, won the Man Booker Prize in 2008 and established him as one of the sharpest voices writing about modern India’s contradictions — its booming economy alongside entrenched inequality.
His subsequent novels have continued to explore Indian society with a satirical edge. Last Man in Tower follows the residents of a Mumbai apartment building resisting a developer’s buyout, Selection Day traces two cricket-obsessed brothers in Mumbai, and Amnesty follows an undocumented Sri Lankan immigrant in Australia. Adiga writes with a reporter’s eye for detail and a novelist’s feel for moral ambiguity.
