Balram Halwai, a candy seller, a complicated man. He is a servant, philosopher, entrepreneur and murderer. Over the course of seven nights, by the scattered light of a preposterous chandelier, Balram tells the terrible and transfixing story of how he became successful in life with nothing but his own wits to help him along. This novel by Aravind Adiga won the prestigious Booker Prize.
