From the Booker Prize-winning author comes the sparkling and lyrical predecessor to the bestselling The English Patient.
Booker Prize-winning novelist Michael Ondaatje is the author of many collections of poetry and several books of fiction, including In the Skin of a Lion and The English Patient. He and his wife live in Toronto.
Ondaatje writes in curves, in time-lapses, a sort of verbal cinema
whose narrative is unfaltering
*Times*
A triumph . . . a powerful and revelatory accomplishment
*Times Literary Supplement*
A magical book. Michael Ondaatje defies the normal distinction
between poet and novelist. His writing is consistently tuned to a
visionary pitch
*Graham Swift*
A singular masterpiece
*Kamila Shamsie*
