Man Booker Prize Winner Announced
Aravind Adiga has won the 2008 Man Booker Prize for his first novel, The White Tiger.
The novel is about the struggles of a rickshaw puller in New Delhi, and is described by the judges as a book that “shocked and entertained in equal measure”.
Aravind spent some of his teenage years in Sydney, and claims this influenced his writing about the class systems in India. Read this interesting interview with the 33 year old author.
