Aravind Adiga - Between the Assassinations


Aravind has won the Man-Booker Prize. That's a pretty big deal. His follow up to the award winning The White Tiger was this book, which was actually written first. Go figure.
Here are some great lines:
1. Only he had taken them seriously; he had thought that they fucked women and blew up bombs.

2. 'You have to be full of life.'
He shook his fist at Keshava, as if to demonstrate the fullness of life.

3. The furrow in his brow was like a bookmark left there by the dead woman.

4. Mr Murthy said, giving his bald head a sad philosophical shake.

5. Dialectics had become Dust.
