The warm-hearted comic story of a penniless waiter from Mumbai who became the biggest quiz-show winner in history!
Vikas Swarup is a member of the Indian Foreign Service and is based in Delhi. Q&A has won many awards, and is translated into 40 languages so far. It is the book behind the mult-Oscar winning film, Slumdog Millionaire. His second novel, Six Suspects, is available as a Black Swan paperback and ebook and is soon to be made into a film.
This brilliant story, as colossal, vibrant and chaotic as India
itself... is not to be missed
*Observer*
Poignant, funny, rich... with an utterly orignal and brilliant
structure at its heart
*Meg Rosoff, author of HOW I LIVE NOW*
Mingling broad humour with incisive social comment, Q&A is
absorbing and richly entertaining reading
*The Times*
This lively picaresque novel has an original and telling premise...
a colourful portrait of Indian society is painted with remarkable
lightness and wit
*Sunday Telegraph*
A hugely successful mixture of satire and intrigue
*Independent on Sunday*
Swarup is an accomplished storyteller
*Daily Mail*
An engaging and surprisingly informative read
*Telegraph*
This novel is part homage to the larger-than-life Bollywood film
industry, and the characters and story are so engaging that you
really have to read on to find out how it all comes together in the
end
*Derby Evening Telegraph*
One of the most delightful reads i've enjoyed in years
*Shashi Tharoor*
Q&A is popular fiction at its best and brightest. The prose is
efficient and the characters are briskly drawn in strong, sharp
colours. Swarup clearly understands his job. As an exercise in
genre, the novel is a triumph and that was before the movie-makers
got to work
