John Plotz of Recall This Book spoke in 2020 with Sanjay Krishnan, Boston University English professor and Conrad scholar about his marvelous new book on that grumpiest of Nobel laureates, V. S Naipaul's Journeys. Krishnan sees the “contrarian and unsentimental” Trinidad-born but globe-trotting novelist and essayist as early and brilliant at noticing the unevenness with which the blessings and curses of modernity were distributed in the era of decolonization. Centrally, Naipaul realized and reckoned with the always complex and messy question of the minority within postcolonial societies. He talks with John about Naipaul's early focus on postcolonial governments, and how unusual it was in the late 1950's for colonial intellectuals to focus on “the discomfiting aspects of postcolonial life….and uneven consequences of the global transition into modernity.” Most generatively of all, Sanjay insists that the “troublesome aspect is what gives rise to what's most positive in Naipaul.” Discussed in the Episode Chinua Achebe, There Was a Country (2012) George Lamming, e.g. (In the Castle of My Skin, 1953) V.

[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... O livro já se tornou um clássico; Aravind Adiga é muito, mais muito bom mesmo. Recomendo!

Kate and Cassie read Hannah Kent's Devotion; RN's Daniel Browning reads Caleb Azumah Nelson's Open Water; novelist Rashida Murphy reads Sunjeev Sahota's China Room; and novelist Aravind Adiga on Australian fiction

The White Tiger is a novel by Indian author Aravind Adiga.

Un 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. Aravind Adiga e Marcello Fois considerano la rete delle relazioni familiari un cardine del loro narrare. Nei loro ultimi romanzi per rispondere all'invadenza dei padri i figli devono innescare processi di difesa che fanno sfociare conflitti urlati, ma soprattutto silenziosi e terribili.

The White Tiger is a Netflix film based on a novel with the same name written by Aravind Adiga. The film is directed by Ramin Bahrani and executive produced by Ava Duvernay and Priyanka Chopra. The film follows the life of Bahram, a servant who becomes to a young ambitious entrepenuer and we follow his story of rags to riches. It's an experience that follows an arrogant, yet charming narrator who struggles with the inner conflict of becoming the one in a million story and the outer conflict of those around that hold him back from success.

Thirteen years later, “The White Tiger” is a big hit for Netflix. The film adaptation is written and directed by Adiga's friend from college, filmmaker Ramin Bahrani.

In this episode of The Privilege Take, we are reviewing a widely acclaimed film, The White Tiger.

The show eases off the accelerator to focus on a single film this week. Acclaimed director Ramin Bahrani (Chop Shop, Goodbye Solo) is back with a new film for Netflix that positions itself as the anti-Slumdog Millionaire. Adapted from Aravind Adiga's novel of the same title, The White Tiger tells a story of a lower-caste servant in India (Adarh Gourav) who chafes under the yoke of his family's poverty and does what he thinks he must in order to get ahead. Part Goodfellas, part Parasite, Bahrani's latest takes aim at the wealth disparities of modern India and examines how festering class resentments can boil over into violence, anger, and injustice from rich and poor alike.

Acclaimed director Ramin Bahrani (Chop Shop, Goodbye Solo) is back with a new film for Netflix that positions itself as the anti-Slumdog Millionaire. Adapted from Aravind Adiga's novel of the same title, The White Tiger tells a story of a lower-caste servant in India (Adarh Gourav) who chafes under the yoke of his family's poverty and does what he thinks he must in order to get ahead. Part Goodfellas, part Parasite, Bahrani's latest takes aim at the wealth disparities of modern India and examines how festering class resentments can boil over into violence, anger, and injustice from rich and poor alike.

Muziek bij de Netflix-film The White Tiger, een misdaadfilm van Ramin Bahrani uit 2021. Verfilming van de gelijknamige roman van Aravind Adiga uit 2008 over een bediende uit een lage kaste die zich tegen alle verwachtingen in opwerkt tot succesvol zakenman. Maar het is bepaald niet een sprookje à la Slumdog Millionaire: in handen van de Amerikaans-Iraanse regisseur Ramin Bahrani is The White Tiger vooral een snoeiharde aanklacht tegen ongelijkheid, discriminatie, corruptie en de status quo geworden. De muziek bij The White Tiger is van het componisten en muzikantenduo Danny Bensi en Saunder Jurriaans, die zich vanaf 2011 zijn gaan richten op televisie- en filmmuziek. En sindsdien hebben ze een aardig cv opgebouwd met muziek voor televisieseries als Ozark, en voor arthouse films als Martha Marcy May Marlene, of The One I Love. Moderne klassieke muziek vormt een inspiratiebron, maar wat je in de muziek bij The White Tiger hoort is natuurlijk ook een weerklank van Indiase muziektradities. Maar ook het gebruik van elektronica, daar kom je bijna niet omheen, zij gebruiken de nieuwste digitale technieken heel inventief, soms om fraaie soundscapes te maken, soms om een melodie of ritme van een vlijmscherp randje te voorzien. - Half Baked 0'38” - Luxury 1'36” - Alone 1'23” - The Buffalo 1'45” - Rich Man 3'47” - Woken Up 2'51” - The Door was always open 3'27” - Inspiration 1'47” - Squatting 1'47” - The White Tiger 1'47”

The White Tiger is a new Netflix film based on Aravind Adiga’s 2008 Booker Prize-winning novel, directed by Ramin Bahrani. It explores Indian society and how hard it can be to climb the social ladder, as Balram, played by Adarsh Gourav, struggles to advance even when he has found rich employers. For our Friday review, writer Abir Mukherjee and film critic and host of the Girls on Film podcast Anna Smith give their verdict, and reflect on the week that saw 22-year-old poet Amanda Gorman perform The Hill We Climb at President Biden’s inauguration. Every year one of the first literary events is the T. S. Eliot Prize readings, when each of the 10 shortlisted poets performs to a packed Royal Festival Hall.

It's the first episode of 2019, and our hosts Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the Saudi Arabia-centric episode of Hasan Minhaj's Patriot Act, Netflix series Selection Day, and the Netflix special of Black Mirror's Bandersnatch, among other things.Rajyasree recommends the controversial Saudi Arabia of Patriot Act for its wit and timing. Both hosts disapprove of Netflix pulling the episode down in Saudi Arabia after a complaint from authorities. “It is a shame because rather than more information reaching places that were behind and Iron Curtained, it seems that the Iron Curtain is extending to places that didn't have one earlier,” says Abhinandan.They talk about the Netflix series Selection Day, based on a book by the same name by Aravind Adiga. Rajyasree summarises the plot and says she recommends it because you could probably watch the entire thing in a single sitting. She does however think the story was somewhat underdeveloped.Discussing the episode Bandersnatch from the Black Mirror series, Abhinandan is stridently against the concept, though Rajyasree found it entertaining. He says he doesn't endorse the episode's USP, which is the "cheap thrill" of being able to choose where the story goes. He says it seems to solely cater to video game fanatics, which is “a hell of a subset". He adds, "It was a lot of content consumption to cater to a gimmick.”Next, the pair review the Netflix thriller Bird Box, which had a record viewership in the first week of its release. “Watch it for the gruesomeness,” says Rajyshree, "if you're into that sort of thing." She says while she enjoyed the "graphic" cinematography, the film can be slightly unrealistic and tiresome with its overused dystopian-world, single-parent-protecting-the-children shindig.Moving away from the Netflix universe, Abhinandan and Rajyasree discuss Rajeev Masand's Actresses Roundtable 2018. They unanimously condemn Rani Mukherjee, saying she comes across as an under-informed, overly opinionated person who is self-aware of her superiority being “Aditya Chopra's wife, so she rules the roost,” says Rajyasree.Our hosts also talk about the recent passing of two artists: Kader Khan, whom Abhinandan calls “crass, but prolific” and praises him for being self-made, and filmmaker Mrinal Sen, of whose work Rajyasree has mixed views.Tune in for more!

In Stereotype: South Asia in the Global Literary Imaginary (Columbia University Press, 2014) is a masterful account of the importance of the stereotype in English language South Asian literature.

Kirsty Lang examines how writers from India and Pakistan are tackling social and political shifts, with Booker-winner Aravind Adiga, Aatish Taseer, Mohammed Hanif and Moni Mohsin. All have published fiction in the past year with a focus on complex current issues in their respective countries, including terrorism in Pakistan and the huge social changes brought about by India's economic boom. They also reflect on the differences between readers in the Indian subcontinent and those who live outside it, and discuss how - as Aravind Adiga reveals - a warm critical reception in the UK is no guarantee of critical praise at home. Producer Rebecca Nicholson.

Professor Rae discusses Aravind Adiga's novel The White Tiger. The novel reveals the difficulties developing countries face dismantling entrenched inequalities. Corruption and chronic rent-seeking behavior can be major obstacles. Other aspects of the novel, including India's religious history, the role of caste structure, and entrepreneurialism, are also explored. Links are made between themes from the novel and previous class discussions on the nature of capitalism.

Congratulations to Aravind Adiga for his Booker win last night for his debut novel, The White Tiger. For those of you who missed it, you can find my interview with Aravind from earlier this year here. And if you want to sample his novel, you can hear him reading from it here and here.

“I see this in a sense as a cautionary tale. What my narrator is is a white tiger – he’s unusual for his time. Very few servants in India actually kill their masters and take their money…” Aravind Adiga’s debut novel was recently selected for the Booker long-list, so I thought I’d make available this interview which I did with him earlier this year in London. Click here to listen to the interview. If you click on the picture below, you can hear Aravind reading from the book. There’s another reading available here. You can find more information about the book on Atlantic Books’ website.

Join us for a live discussion and chatroom with ARAVIND ADIGA, author of "The White Tiger." His debut novel has gotten exceptionally excellent reviews: From USA Today - "The White Tiger is one of the most powerful books I’ve read in decades. No hyperbole. This debut novel... hit me like a kick to the head — the same effect Richard Wright’s Native Son and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man had.... This is an amazing and angry novel about injustice and power."

That’s how the narrator of Aravind Adiga’s debut novel reckons he should entitle his life story. Adiga’s narrator, Balram Halwai, believes he is half-baked because, like so many in India, he’s been unable to finish his schooling, and so his head is an ‘odd museum’ of half-cooked ideas. This is the head the reader is given a guided tour of over the course of 300 often bitingly satirical pages. Adam Lively in The Times called the book ‘extraordinary and brilliant’ and another critic said it was ‘the perfect antidote to lyrical India’. Balram is not the sort of character who is normally given centre stage in Indian novels. He comes from a low caste in an almost feudal village and seems destined for a life as a downtrodden servant, abused by his affluent, rapidly (and often comically) westernizing masters. Yet over the course of several nights, Balram relates the steps he took to escape the ‘rooster coop’ of Indian society and turn himself into a ‘self-made entrepreneur’. He offers the wisdom he has gained (‘free …
