Aravind Adiga’s acute and microscopic observation and the technique of presentation make him an exceptional novelist of the contemporary period. The use of figurative and metaphorical language proves him to be an accomplished novelist. His third and vibrant novel Last Man in Tower is replete with a number of similes, metaphors and other figures of speech which throw light on his poetic heart even though his writings belong to the genre of fiction. The present paper is an attempt of throwing light on the literary style of Aravind Adiga in his novel Last Man in Tower.
