Life of Pi
Yann Martel, 2001
A boy survives 227 days in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger and comes back with a story about faith, fear and which version of events you choose to believe.
Yann Martel
Yann Martel was born in Spain and raised in Costa Rica, France, Mexico and Canada; he has said Life of Pi began with a story that would make him believe in God.
Feels like faith, wonder and society.
What if death is not life's enemy but its jealous lover?
The reason death sticks so closely to life isn’t biological necessity — it’s envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud. Books by Yann Martel
