Synopsis
Born in a village in heartland India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school by his family and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape - of breaking away from the banks of Mother Ganga, into whose depths have seeped the remains of a hundred generations.
The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram’s journey from darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.

屿舟。12-28贯穿全文的rooster coop，由种姓制度主导下的一套社会规则，人们不得不自发地去服从它。Balram被这套规则束缚，受master的束缚，受家庭规则的束缚（主要来自Granny逼他结婚逼他寄钱等），最后把老板杀了以此来报复家庭。我的一位老师去印度做研究的时候，知道这么一件事：一对恋人私奔被抓了回来，女方家里面为了使自己种姓不因为流言而下降，家族秘密地弄死了这个女子。（一系列的事情都可以在种姓制度里面找到原因）书虽然有些偏激，但确实反映了不少奇怪的事实：Balram没有名字，父母不记得其生日，名字和生日都是由别人随便给予的；印度的仆人为主人顶罪便是好仆人（可以猜想大爆炸里的Raj一家的出生在印度是首陀罗吧？）；印度的民主从某种程度上来说真是虚假的民主。。明年我将去印度，期待一下。

周沐君10-07两年前从美国飞回中国的飞机上看着玩的。突然发现它已经被翻译成中文了。随即引来一堆豆瓣上苦大仇深的评论。为什么印度好些好玩的小说和电影到了豆瓣上就都被弄得苦大仇深了？
