Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje
In the late 1970s Ondaatje returned to his native island of Sri Lanka. As he records his journey through the drug-like heat and intoxicating fragrances of that pendant off the ear of India, Ondaatje simultaneously retraces the baroque mythology of his Dutch-Ceylonese family. An inspired travel narrative and family memoir by an exceptional writer.
Michael Ondaatje has previously published three novels, a memoir, and eleven collections of poetry. The English Patient, his novel, earned the Booker Prize. He was born in Sri Lanka and immigrated to Canada in 1962, where he now resides in Toronto.
