The dazzling new book from the winner of the 2008 Man Booker Prize: one of the summer's most eagerly anticipated works of fiction.

In his compelling new work of fiction, Aravind Adiga has imagined the small Indian city of Kittur, an everytown nestling on the coast south of Goa and north of Calicut. Through the myriad and distinctive voices of its inhabitants, an entire Indian world comes vividly and unforgettably to life.

From a middle-aged Communist to an Islamic terrorist; from the young children of a Tamil building-site worker to a privileged and alienated schoolboy; from an idealistic journalist to a Brahmin housemaid, Adiga has produced a microcosm of Indian life in the 80s, the years between the assassinations of Indira Gandhi and her son Rajiv. Muslim, Christian and Hindu, high-caste and low-caste, rich and poor: all of Indian life - the 'sorrowful parade of humanity' - is here.

Journeying through Kittur's streets and schoolyards, bedrooms and businesses, its inner workings and outer limits, Adiga conjures a remarkable fictional landscape. Sizzling with acid observations, and textured with wicked humour and gentle humanity, Between the Assassinations is a triumph of voice and imagination.

Críticas

"'Blazingly savage and brilliant' Sunday Telegraph 'A masterpiece' The Times 'Dazzling... With The White Tiger, Adiga sets out to show us a part of [India] that we hear about infrequently: its underbelly... [Balram's voice is] brimming with idiosyncrasy, sarcastic, cunning.' Independent on Sunday 'Adiga's portrait of the Indian capital is very funny but unmistakably angry... Keeps you guessing to the final page and beyond.' Financial Times" --Este texto se refiere a una edición agotada o no disponible de este título.

Mr. Neil D. Armour

Interesting snapshot of life in India

Revisado en Reino Unido el 4 de abril de 2011

Compra verificada

This book is the story of a city, rather than of characters. It's essentially a collection of short stories, the only theme connecting them are that they all seem to examine the idea of class or caste divide in Indian society. Adiga seems fascinated with this concept as his last book followed this idea also. Some of the stories really allow you to get inside the heads of those who suffer through being poor in India; they examine how helpless a poor person really is to change their life. other stories seem to be fillers, which is a shame as there are some really powerful stories in here. My biggest criticism is that there is no tying together of the stories, I was hoping that there would be some conclusion to the book which brought all the stories together. With that, this would be a 5 star book.

I didn't like it but ploughed on with it thinking it was going to go somewhere but it didn't. Maybe the author wanted to portray the pointlessness of people's life in India, or that particular part of India, at the time. I read The White Tiger and bought this one on the strength of that whereas The White Tiger also had a streak of pointlessness running through it, in my mind that is, it had a more developed plot line. Between Assssination was a collection of narratives that with no connecting thread and all just left me feeling flat and thinking I will avoid this author now.

Great book. Full of great characters and descriptions of India. It was a page turner that I didn’t want to end. Definitely worth reading.

Compelling Read

Revisado en India el 21 de marzo de 2019

Compra verificada

A book like this may not (and usually does not) appeal to a few individuals. But this was a compelling, intriguing and thought provoking read. I was hooked, intrigued and glad that this wax written.

Aravind Adiga covers so many aspects in the India between 1984 and 1991 with such delicacy that it leaves you scratching your head sometimes. At times the endings are unambiguous but just the journey leading upto it is so poignant to our times.

Aspects like casteism, internal scuffles, ironies of life, paradoxes and dark shades of human behaviour are painted with due care and subtlety and yet they are very much in your face. And that's probably where this book is a clear winner.

It will take you to get your brains ticking and is no breezy read, but to those looking for something different this one is a must read for sure. The characters linger deep in your mind even after the pages have exhausted themselves. You will feel spent but it will be bittersweet, just the way the book probably intended it to be. The stories are not your usual stuff. They intrude deep into the psyche of the characters and we are lead into their thoughts, their confusions, self loathings and insecurities. All in a small town of a nation finding its feet and dealing with all these aspects at a macro level.

Pick this book. If you are patient enough to go through it you wont regret it.
