Last Man In Tower

By: Avarind Adiga

Narrated by: Sam Dastor

Real estate developer Dharmen Shah’s offer to buy out the residents of Vishram Society - a formerly respectable, now crumbling apartment complex that abuts the infamous Dharavi slums - is more than generous. But one man stands in the way of Shah’s luxury high- rise: Masterji, a retired schoolteacher who will not leave his home in Vishram’s Tower A. Shah is a dangerous man to refuse, but as the demolition deadline looms, Masterji’s neighbors - friends who have become enemies, acquaintances turned co- conspirators - may stop at nothing to score their payday.

Critic reviews

"Extraordinary and brilliant... Adiga is a real writer - that is to say, someone who forges an original voice and vision." ( Sunday Times)
