My rating: 2 of 5 stars
It seemed to me as though the writer was trying too hard: to have every small day-today action assume a philosophical hue. Expected better from the author of The English Patient.
First Line: HE WASN'T TALKING.
Source: Bought in 2014.
Other books read of the same author: In the Skin of a Lion, The English Patient.

I've read books like that, too, Neeru, where I felt the author was trying too hard, instead of letting the story happen.
ReplyDeleteSuch books can be really irritating, isn't it?
DeleteI read "The English Patient" a long time back and found it very depressing. Since then, I have not read any of Ondaatje's other works.
ReplyDeleteAnd please don't read this book. Too much drama.
DeleteI liked The English Patient a lot though the Indian Punjabi doctor seemed a little fake. But I remember a character who blew his brains out, I think, when war broke out and he felt that he'd be forced to take sides and he couldn't bear it as his friends were of different nationalities. Found that immensely moving.
Thank you, your article is very good
