For this year’s advent calendar, I am recommending Canadian authors/books found on Schatje’s Shelves. Again, to make things more interesting/challenging, I will use the alphabet, skipping “X” and “Z”. In total, I propose to focus on 50 Canadian writers, an early nod to Canada's 150th birthday next year.
“O” is for Michael
Ondaatje
Ondaatje is a poet and novelist, one of Canada's most
renowned living authors.
Novels (which I
recommend):
In the Skin of a Lion
The English Patient
(winner of 1992 Man Booker Prize and Governor-General’s Literary Award; winner
of 1993 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize)
Anil's Ghost
(winner of 2000 Giller Prize)
Divisadero
(nominated for 2007 Giller Prize and Governor-General’s Literary Award)
The Cat's Table
(nominated for 2011 Giller Prize) See my review at http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2015/09/birthday-review-cats-table-by-michael.html.
