In 'Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts,' reviewer JP O'Malley described Ondaatje "like coral...Ondaajte's narrative is built up slowly into towers and branches and hidden chambers, fashioning a delicate grisaille of memory and passion...Readers of Ondaatje's novels will know that he has a passion for language and an incredible ability to tease out sentences in a very sensual way." He is one of the few authors who has had a new species of spider named in his honour, the Sri-Lankan Brignolia ondaatjei.
