ON THE COVER
Set to release his family memoir, Running In The Family, Michael Ondaatje talked with NOW about why he was writing about the people in his past and at the same time evading his own history.
In 2011, he’s changed his tune, releasing The Cat’s Table, just shortlisted for this year’s Giller Prize. In the novel, a boy travels in the 50s from Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) to London – something Ondaatje himself did. And the protagonist’s name? Michael. (Page 7 of the issue.)
