    Biography of the author.  
    http://www.athabascau.ca/writers/ondaatje.html
    
    Extractions: Michael Ondaatje Born in Sri Lanka in 1943, Michael Ondaatje immigrated with his mother, brother and sister in England in 1952. He followed his brother to Canada in 1962, and attended Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec. He received his BA from the University of Toronto in 1965, and his MA from Queen's University in 1967. He has taught at a variety of institutions, including the University of Western Ontario, York University, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Brown University and the University of Toronto. Michael Ondaatje is probably best known for his work The English Patient (1992) which was adapted to an Academy Award winning movie. He started with poetry, in 1967 publishing Dainty Monsters . In the title, we already see how Ondaatje enjoys juxtaposing opposite images, and as a result explores these seemingly incongruent ideas, a trait that links almost all of his works. His serial poem the man with seven toes (1969) was inspired by paintings by an Australian artist, and a true story of a woman living among the Aborigines after a shipwreck. This interest in historical fragments and visual arts would also become signatures of Ondaatje's writing. Both the collection of poems

    Extractions: the men with seven toes by Sam Solecki In view of the acclaim and the attention received by Michael Onedaatje's The Collected Works of Billy the Kid (1970) and Coming Through Slaughter (1976) it is inevitable that his first book-length work, the man with seven toes (1969), is often overlooked in most discussions either of his work or of contemporary Canadian writing. This is unfortunate because this long sequence of poems is a complex work, interesting in its own right, and a pivotal book in Ondaatje's development. It is with the man with seven toes that we first see him moving toward the longer and more experimental form that will become characteristic in his two major works. And although the man with seven toes does not go as far as they do in the direction of a temporally discontinuous form, nevertheless, aspects of its style and structure clearly anticipate the later developments. The shift toward the longer forms that is first seen with the man with seven toes is of particular importance in Ondaatje's development as a writer because not only are his longer works more experimental than his lyrics but it is in them that we find a style and form fully expressive of his vision. This is not to denigrate his very fine lyrics but only to emphasize that he seems to need the longer form or structure in order to create a world embodying and expressing his vision.

    Extractions: N ovelista y poeta canadiense. Nació en Colombo (Sri Lanka), en el seno de una privilegiada familia de origen holandés, tamil y cingalés. En 1954, se trasladó a Inglaterra para estudiar en el Dulwich College y en 1962 viajó a Canadá para continuar su formación en las universidades de Toronto y Queen's, en Ontario. Actualmente da clases en la Universidad de York (Toronto). Comenzó su carrera literaria con tres colecciones de poemas: Los monstruos cotidianos El hombre con siete dedos en los pies (1969) y La rata (1973). Todos ellos fueron elogiados por su visión surrealista y el uso de imágenes macabras y conjunciones inesperadas que obligan al lector a modificar su manera de ver el mundo. Otros volúmenes de poesía dignos de mención son Un truco con una navaja que intento aprender (1979) y El pelador de cáñamo (1990). Sus novelas son una original combinación de poesía, prosa y representación visual, y en ellas la realidad convive con la ficción, como se pone de manifiesto en Las obras completas de Billy el Niño A través del matadero (1979) está basada en la vida del músico de jazz de Nueva Orleans, Buddy Bolden.

47. Amie R. Colonna's Casa Azul: Michael Ondaatje--book Reviews & Links
    Brief reviews of several of michael ondaatje's works; from the personal reading list of artist Amie R. Colonna.  
    http://www.slackers.net/~amie/ondaatje.html
    
    Extractions: M ichael Ondaatje (1943 - ) is perhaps best known for his 1992 novel The English Patient for which he won the Booker Prize. A Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) native, he makes his home in Toronto, Canada. He is a writer who deftly jumps from prose to poetry to autobiography to documentary to form a truly unique style all his own. I am very fortunate to own now out-of-print copies of two early works, The Dainty Monsters Rat Jelly . Both books illustrate an early wit and obvious wordcraft. He tackles both the inane and the divine with equal skill, makes one hold ones breathe and discover what poetry can be. Herons, sows, pigeons, gorillas, and rats share the stage with poems to the likes of Alfred Hitchcock, Henri Rousseau, Ann Landers, and Wallace Stevens. His poem Lilith from The Dainty Monsters reinterprets the age old poetic musemythologywith new depth and great insight. "

55. Mapping The Woman's Body In Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient
    Essay by Lilijana Burcar, University of Ljubljana.  
    http://www.thecore.nus.edu.sg/landow/post/canada/literature/ondaatje/burcar/burc
    
    Extractions: Ondaatje's The English Patient questions the idea of fixed identity for nations but not women. It relinquishes fixed national identities in favour of a flux of multiple, incessant becoming. In contrast, far from similarly decentering woman's identity and emptying its discursively produced socio-symbolic meanings, the novel continues to accept identity addressed in terms of the female body, its culturally reinforced materiality, and its institutionally sanctified appearances. Imbued with socially marked distinctiveness, the female body consequently gives forth a particular embodiment of the feminine that operates as its unproblematic facticity, thus simultaneously narrowing down the scope of identity options from which the feminine is compelled to derive the make-up of its very much truncated existence. In the novel woman is embodied in the figure of Katherine, the lover of the English Patient (rather Almasy). Ondaatje defines Katherine solely in terms of her body, which, since she is denied a voice of her own and can therefore spring into life only through the narration of her observer, consequently becomes her only reality in the world of the text. Traversed by the investigating, possessive, and recasting gaze of her lover (himself a dedicated desert explorer), Katherine's body is criss-crossed by male inscriptions of significance. These form an imprisoning network of artificially imposed relations that speak for her and instead of her. By virtue of being enmeshed in this constricting, defining structure, the body of the woman becomes a repository of

    Extractions: Vor einigen Wochen lief in unseren Kinos ein wunderschöner Film unter diesem Titel. Sowohl die ergreifende Liebesgeschichte, als auch die Vollkommenheit der Farben, mit denen der Produzent spielt, lassen diesen Film zu einem hervorragendem Kinoerlebnis werden. Der ursprüngliche Roman wurde 1992 von Michael Ondaatje, der seit Anfang der 60er Jahre in Canada lebt, aber in Sri Lanka geboren wurde und in England seine Schulausbildung absolvierte, geschrieben. Das Buch erschien erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung 1993 in Taschenbuchausgabe (14,90 DM) bei dtv. Der Roman weitet auf eine verzaubernde Art und Weise die Eindrücke, Geschehnisse und Beziehungen der einzelnen Charaktere untereinander aus und vertieft sie. Die Geschichte spielt in den letzten Tagen des Krieges; in einer toskanischen Villa finden vier Menschen Zuflucht: Carvaggio, ein ehemaliger Dieb und Spion im Auftrag der Alliierten in Nordafrika, Kip, ein junger Inder, der in einer englischen Spezialeinheit Bomben entschärft, Hana, eine kanadische Krankenschwester - und der geheimnisvolle "englische Patient", der mit seinem Flugzeug in der Wüste Afrikas abgeschossen wurde.
