Winner of the 2002 Man Booker Prize for Fiction
Yann Martel, the son of diplomats, was born in Spain in 1963. He grew up in Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Alaska, and Canada and as an adult has spent time in Iran, Turkey, and India. After studying philosophy in college, he worked at various odd jobs until he began earning his living as a writer at the age of twenty-seven. He lives in Montreal.
From the mailbox of the Prime Minister's Office to your bookshelf, a list of more than 100 books that every Canadian should read. This largely one-sided correspondence from the "loneliest book club in the world" is a compendium for bibliophiles and those who follow the Canadian political scene. Smart, subversive, signed, sealed, and now available to you...even if your address is not 80 Wellington Street.

評分 評分以下內容摘自《斯蒂芬●哈珀在讀什麼》第21本書 “我傾嚮於給你寄類似小說這樣的虛構文學,因為它們對人生有更加深入的闡釋。此話怎講?我的意思是,同紀實性文學相比,小說等虛構文學更關乎個人,更綜閤化。小說更加“全人”化。小說探討的是生活本身,而曆史則停留...
評分知道這本書是從“不止讀書”的公眾號,在此應該感謝魏小河一直以來為大傢薦書和宣傳獨立書店。 最開始被吸引,是被這個給總理堅持寫信推薦文學作品的形式所吸引,說實話,我在讀這本書之前以為他們彼此是有交流的,來而不往非禮也嘛! 讀瞭幾篇發現,大部分時間裏本書都是揚一...
