Between the Assassinations

Aravind Adiga gelangte durch den Gewinn des Booker Prize 2008 zu Weltruhm. Hier nun sein neuer mit Spannung erwarteter Roman. Dieser spielt in einer fiktiven Stadt in Indien und zeichnet mit Humor, Wut und voller Menschlichkeit ein Bild des modernen Indiens über eine Zeitspanne von 7 Jahren.

Nestling on India's southern coast lies the town of Kittur. Ranging through the city's streets and schoolyards, bedrooms and businesses, its inner workings and its outer limits, through the myriad and distinctive voices of its inhabitants, Aravind Adiga brings an entire world vividly and unforgettably to life.
