The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios by Yann Martel

The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios by Yann Martel

Here are four unforgettable stories by Yann Martel, the New York Times best-selling author of Life of Pi. In the exquisite title novella, a very young man dying of AIDS joins his friend in fashioning a story of the Roccamatio family of Helsinki, set against the yearly march of the 20th century. In The Time I Heard the Private Donald J. Rankin String Concerto with One Discordant Violin, by the American composer John Morton, a Canadian university student visits Washington, D.C., and experiences the Vietnam War and its aftermath through an intense musical encounter. In Manners of Dying, variations of a warden's letter to the mother of an executed man reveal how each life is contained in its end. The final story, The Vita Eterna Mirror Company: Mirrors to Last till Kingdom Come, is about a young man who discovers an antique mirror-making machine that runs on memories.
