About This Book
Vikas Swarup's spectacular debut novel opens in a jail cell in Mumbai,
India, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is being held after correctly answering
all twelve questions on India's biggest quiz show, Who Will Win a
Billion? It is hard to believe that a poor orphan who has never read a
newspaper or gone to school could win such a contest. But through a
series of exhilarating tales Ram explains to his lawyer how episodes in
his life gave him the answer to each question.
Ram takes us on an amazing review of his own history -- from the day he
was found as a baby in the clothes donation box of a Delhi church to his
employment by a faded Bollywood star to his adventure with a
security-crazed Australian army colonel to his career as an overly
creative tour guide at the Taj Mahal.
Swarup's Q & A is a beguiling blend of high comedy, drama, and romance
that reveals how we know what we know -- not just about trivia, but
about life itself. Cutting across humanity in all its squalor and glory,
Vikas Swarup presents a kaleidoscopic vision of the struggle between
good and evil -- and what happens when one boy has no other choice in
life but to survive.
"Slumdog Millionaire," winner of Best Picture Award of The Golden Globe
Awards 2009, is based on this novel.
