Apparently, when Yann Martel wrote this he was feeling a bit down and this was his way of plucking himself up. I’m going to have to assume you have read this book, as if I don’t I won’t be able to say anything about it at all. So, being told a book is a winner of the Booker tends to be a mark against it from the start, unfortunately. The only Carey I haven’t liked won the Booker ( Oscar and Lucinda), I really didn’t like the little bit of Vernon God Little I read and I never finished The Sea despite really liking Banville’s writing. I tend to avoid the winners of the Man / Booker – they make me a little depressed. I’m going to have to assume you have read this book, as if I I found a lot of this book incredibly tedious.

At one point in his journey, Pi recounts, “My greatest wish–other than salvation–was to have a book. I have so many bad nights to choose from that I’ve made none the champion.”Īn award winner in Canada, Life of Pi, Yann Martel’s second novel, should prove to be a breakout book in the U.S. In rich, hallucinatory passages, Pi recounts the harrowing journey as the days blur together, elegantly cataloging the endless passage of time and his struggles to survive: “It is pointless to say that this or that night was the worst of my life. After much gore and infighting, Pi and Richard Parker remain the boat’s sole passengers, drifting for 227 days through shark-infested waters while fighting hunger, the elements, and an overactive imagination.
It sounds like a colorful setup, but these wild beasts don’t burst into song as if co-starring in an anthropomorphized Disney feature. After a harrowing shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean, trapped on a 26-foot lifeboat with a wounded zebra, a spotted hyena, a seasick orangutan, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker (”His head was the size and color of the lifebuoy, with teeth”). The precocious son of a zookeeper, 16-year-old Pi Patel is raised in Pondicherry, India, where he tries on various faiths for size, attracting “religions the way a dog attracts fleas.” Planning a move to Canada, his father packs up the family and their menagerie and they hitch a ride on an enormous freighter. Yann Martel’s imaginative and unforgettable Life of Pi is a magical reading experience, an endless blue expanse of storytelling about adventure, survival, and ultimately, faith.
