Q&A is a poignant, funny, rich, beautifully written novel with an utterly original and brilliant structure at its heart. A rare joy. Meg Rosoff, author of How I Live Now
The acclaimed Q&A now released as SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, a Golden Globe-nominated film directed by Danny Boyle and hotly tipped for Oscars.
LangtextFormer tiffinboy Ram Mohammad Thomas has just got twelve questions correct on a TV quiz-show to win a cool one billion rupees. But he is brutally slung in prison on suspicion of cheating. Because how can a kid from the slums know who Shakespeare was, unless he is pulling a fast one.
In the order of the questions on the show, Ram tells us which amazing adventures in his street-kid life gave him the answers. From orphanages to brothels, gangsters to beggar-masters, and into the homes of Bollywood's rich and famous, Ram's story is brimming with the chaotic comedy, heart-stopping tragedy and tear-inducing joyousness of modern India.
Vikas Swarup is a member of the Indian Foreign Service. Q&A was his first novel. An international bestseller, it has been translated into over forty languages, and was made into the multiple Oscar-winning film SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
