* AUTHOR CHAT: Aravind Adiga, author of "The White Tiger." His debut novel has gotten
exceptionally excellent reviews: From USA Today - "The White Tiger is one of the most
powerful books I’ve read in decades. No hyperbole. This debut novel…hit me like a kick
to the head — the same effect Richard Wright’s Native Son and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible
Man had.... This is an amazing and angry novel about injustice and power." Adiga used to
be a former Time magazine correspondent in NYC, now he's a freelancer based in Mumbai.
