Between the Assassinations (English, Paperback, Aravind Adiga)

The utmost that committed literature can do

With wit and furor, compassion and humor, courage and passion, Adiga tells stories in which the relentless opposites and the indomitable will to survive become plastic in today’s India. There is twelve-year-old Ziauddin, who helps out in a tea house near the train station and, because he trusts a light-skinned stranger, makes a big mistake. There is a privileged school boy who detonates explosives at his school to protest the caste system. And there is George D’Souza, the mosquito man who works his way up to the gardener and then the chauffeur for the lovely young Miss Gomes and loses everything when he tries to cross the strict boundaries.
