The Booker Prize 2008
And the winner is by Aravind Adiga, a portrait of modern India and the cost of the economic boom to the very poorest in society. There was an interesting series of items on each of the six shortlisted authors, broadcast on the programme, and you can still . There are also from all of the books on the longlist on the Booker website. I only had time to read two of the books on this year's list (neither of which was The White Tiger), but I'm looking forward to reading the winner. Have any of you read it? Do you think it deserved to win?
