Negative Positive
Title: Vivid imagery, poetic yet different from `English Patient'.
Review: Ondaatje goes back to visit his motherland and the episodes deal with aspects of his family history. The narration is very poetic, the imagery he evokes are at times are close to magic realism. The book is far away from the seriousness of `English Patient'. It is not a travel catalogue either. A lighthearted short lively novel with the flavour of wilderness
