A surprisingly GSOH
In the middle of Michael Ondaatje’s brisk, 30-minutes-on-the-dot reading last night, a friend turned to me in surprise: ‘He’s very funny!’ Ondaatje’s prose is compact and poetic and devoid of humor, but in person he was no shrinking violet.
For a reclusive literary fiction author who took seven years since Anil’s Ghost to put out his next book, the reading was surprisingly packed. Perhaps they were expecting Juliette Binoche and Naveen Andrews

cool youtube link Manish, did u record that urself?
I never read Ondaatje’s novels before Manish, any suggestions as to which one of his novels is the best and which one I should start reading first, thank u.
Juliette Binoche be damned. That was hott.
Prakruti–The English Patient is probably his best known work.
thanks Preya, I already saw that movie..so after seeing the movie , the idea of reading the novel “english patient” is not that interesting. may be I will just read this new novel he published..
I recommend “In the Skin of a Lion”.
