Sinopsis

¿Por qué cree usted que Rama Mahoma Thomas, el protagonista de esta novela, un camarero sin un céntimo de Mumbai, está en la cárcel?: A) Por haberle dado un puñetazo a un cliente; B) Por haberle dado un puñetazo a una vaca; C) Por haber robado dinero de la caja; D) Por haber ganado la versión india del programa concurso ¿Quiere ser millonario? Si cree que la respuesta puede ser la D, bienvenido a Dharavi, el mayor suburbio de la India, donde todo es posible.

Porque ¿cómo puede ser que un muchacho de dieciocho años, analfabeto y pobre, sepa todas las respuestas del programa concurso más famoso y gane los mil millones de rupias? Así, pregunta tras pregunta, se nos presenta un espejo de la sociedad y la historia de la India. Una novela que atraviesa muchos géneros, diversas épocas y diferentes lugares, en la que el autor nos conduce de la farsa a la denuncia social, del romance a la indignación, del lujo más desenfrenado a la más degradante miseria, para sorprendernos al final con un giro inesperado al más puro estilo thriller.
