A beautifully preserved copy, printed over three decades ago, in outstanding conditionâperfect for any literary library Sri Lankan-born Canadian writer Ondaatje is the author of the critically acclaimed "The Collected Works of Billy the Kid." "The English Patient" was adapted to film in 1998, with the novel winning the 1992 Booker Prize, the 1992 Governor General's Award and the Golden Man Booker in 2018. 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.
