Aravind Adiga was awarded the Man Booker prize last night for his debut novel, ‘White Tiger’.
The Booker judges described this book as an extraordinarily readable page turner that is shocking and entertaining in equal measure.
(When asked what he would do with the cash, he quipped that he would try to find a bank to put it in.)
