Michael Ondaatje Divisadero
Vintage Canada 2008 0676979157 / 9780676979152 Paperback Like New
"clean, tight, unmarked() From the celebrated author of The English Patient and In the Skin of a Lion comes a remarkable new novel of intersecting lives that ranges across continents and time. In the 1970s in northern California, near Gold Rush country, a father and his teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, work their farm with the help of Coop, an enigmatic young man who makes his home with them. Theirs is a makeshift family, until it is riven by an incident of violence — of both hand and heart — that sets fire to the rest of their lives. Divisadero takes us from the city of San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada’s casinos, and eventually to the landscape of south central France. It is here, outside a small rural village, that Anna becomes immersed in the life and the world of a writer from an earlier time — Lucien Segura. His compelling story, which has its beginnings at the turn of the century, circles around ID: mon0000008701"

"Ondaatje, Michael" Handwriting
Vintage Canada 2000 0676972454 / 9780676972450 Paperback Very Good
"'Paperback, Very Good, clean, tight, unmarked, Ondaatje's first book of poetry or prose since his bestselling novel The English Patient (1992) offers Western readers knowingly attractive, nostalgic views of his native Sri Lanka. The poet playfully takes to the role of translator (''Aliganaya-'the embrace/ during an intoxicated walk'/ or 'sudden arousal/ while driving over speed bumps' '') in a not-quite-wry langourAa departure from the exuberance of earlier work. Generally forgoing the first person, and settling into a short, refined line, Ondaatje disappears into the role of an observer, most sucessfully in poems like ''Driving with Dominic in the Southern Province We See Hints of a Circus'': ''The Tattered Hungarian Tent/ A man washing a trumpet/ at a roadside tap/ Children in the trees, / one falling/ into the grip of another.'' At times, the self-conscious need to explain interrupts the flow of images, as when bathing women encounter ''An uncaught prawn hiding by their feet/ The thre...'' ID: mon0000016194"

"Michael: Redhill, Michael: Spalding, Esta: Spalding, Linda (editors) Ondaatje" Lost Classics
Alfred A. Knopf Canada 2000 0676972993 / 9780676972993 Hardcover New
"'() Writers, it's often said, are readers first and writers second. Frequently, it is the indelible mark left by some book that inspires a person to commit to the writing life. Mining that vein, the editors of Brick, a Canadian literary journal, asked their contributors ''to tell us the story of a book loved and lost.'' The ''Lost Classics'' issue has been expanded into a book, in which 73 authors--Margaret Atwood, Russell Banks, John Irving, Philip Levine, Anchee Min, and Michael Ondaatje among them--write about the books they've loved and lost. These are books worth stealing, books remembered in the twilight that precedes sleep, books that, for these authors, provided ''that moment when a reader seems to have found the perfect mate.'' Though many of the books extolled here are acknowledged classics, many are not. Helen Garner cherishes a childhood book that ''except for members of my immediate family, no Australian I've mentioned the book to ... has had any knowledge of it whatso'''' ID: mon0000030434"
