Reviews

Ondaatje writes in curves, in time-lapses, a sort of verbal cinema whose narrative is unfaltering
A triumph . . . a powerful and revelatory accomplishment
A magical book. Michael Ondaatje defies the normal distinction between poet and novelist. His writing is consistently tuned to a visionary pitch
A singular masterpiece
