- Description
- Michael Ondaatje is one of the few authors who has managed to garner almost equal critical success in the mediums of both prose and poetry. In both, his trademark is a kind of lush imagery, which makes for dense, yet utterly absorbing, reads. Influenced by his childhood in Sri Lanka, his prose retains a deeply poetic property, and despite sometimes horrific subject matter (war is a frequent factor), its descriptiveness makes his novels beautiful. They're filled with flashbacks, memories, and juxtapositions, resulting in nonlinear narratives that his fans enjoy savoring through careful reading.Start with:The English Patient
