Published by Knopf Canada, Toronto, 2007. Margaret Atwood * * Sunday Times * * Here is a writer with a talent as fabulous as the tale that he - and his Pi - have to tell. LIFE OF PI - Illustrated Edition SIGNED & Dated 1st / 1st YANN MARTEL. Like its noteworthy ancestors, among which I take to be Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels, the Ancient Mariner, Moby Dick and Pincher Martin, it's a tale of disaster at sea coupled with miraculous survival - a boys' adventure for grownups. Life of Pi is not just a readable and engaging novel, it's a finely twisted length of yarn. It's fresh, original, smart, devious, and crammed with absorbing lore. As Martel promises in his author's note, this is fiction probing the imaginative realm with scientific exactitude, twisting reality to 'bring out its essence' - Justine Jordan * * Guardian * * Yann Martel's third work of fiction, Life of Pi, is a terrific book. * * Daily Mail * * In its subject and its style, this enormously lovable novel is suffused with wonder: a willed innocence that produces a fresh, sideways look at our habitual assumptions, about religious divisions, or zoos versus the wild, or the possibility of freedom. * * Sunday Telegraph * * An inventive, shocking and ultimately uplifting story. Yann Martel is a vivid and entrancing story-teller.
