slumdog millionaire
“A beguiling blend of high comedy, drama, and romance, with the whole framed as a rags-to-riches fairy tale. An enchanting read.”
— The Times (London)
What would you do if you won a billion rupees on a quiz show—but were arrested for cheating before you could claim your prize?
In Q & A, Vikas Swarup tells the story of Ram Mohammad Thomas, a poor, uneducated waiter who astonishes the nation by answering every question correctly on a televised game show. But when the producers accuse him of fraud, Ram must explain how he knew the answers—not through cheating, but through the incredible story of his life.
Each chapter reveals a different episode of Ram’s journey, from orphanages and brothels to Bollywood mansions and even a prison cell. With humor and heart, Swarup crafts a tale that is part mystery, part social commentary, and wholly captivating.
