Aravind Adiga won the Man Booker Prize on Tuesday night with his novel, The White Tiger, joining a pantheon of past Booker winners that includes such literary giants as V.S. Naipaul, Nadine Gordimer, Iris Murdoch, Kingsley Amis and Salman Rushdie. It was a remarkable victory for Adiga, a 33-year-old first-time novelist who spent part of his youth in the Indian city of Mangalore and now lives in Bombay. As an old friend of his, I was sitting at the table with Adiga in London's Guildhall when he won, surrounded by people from his U.K. publishing house...

Despite the narrator’s professed desire to better understand himself, his world, and the people who populate it, Quick barely manages to flesh out the main character, let alone the secondary ones. Quick endows Pat with the voice...
...very funny.“The Wordy Shipmates” takes the most engaging aspects of that book—its dry, biting wit; its playful narrative; and, most importantly, its passion for history—and enriches them. Free from that last book’s novel yet somewhat extraneous framing device, “The Wordy Shipmates” dives right into its historical focus, the life and times of the founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Among the vaunted cast of America’s founding patriarchs (and matriarchs), the icons of John Winthrop, Roger Williams, John...
