In 'The Lighthouse of Books', Aravind Adiga transports us to the small town of Kittur, India, between the years 1984 and 1991, a period marked by transcendental events such as the assassination of Indira Gandhi and her son Rajiv. Through its pages, we meet unforgettable characters like Xerox, a bookseller who defies the law by photocopying books to sell, and Jayamma, a young woman who struggles against poverty and finds solace in a small Buddha statue. With his irreverent humor and critical gaze, Adiga immerses us in the reality of the most disadvantaged and the complexity of an immense and chaotic country.
Aravind Adiga is an Indian-born Australian writer and journalist. His debut novel, The White Tiger, won the 2008 Man Booker Prize.
