Krátky popis
With A Year of Last Things, acclaimed novelist Michael Ondaatje
returns to poetry, looking back on a life of displacement and
discovery'My life always stops for a new book by him' JHUMPA
LAHIRI, author of The Namesake'Timeless... Remarkable,
incomparable' TERRANCE HAYES, author of So to SpeakBorn in Sri
Lanka during the Second World War, Ondaatje was sent as a child to
school in London, and later moved to Canada. While he has lived
there since, these poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller
and watcher of the world – describing himself as a 'mongrel',
someone born out of diverse cultures.Here, rediscovering the
influence of every border crossed, he moves back and forth in time,
from a childhood in Sri Lanka to Moliere’s chair during his last
stage performance, from icons in Bulgarian churches to the
Californian coast and loved Canadian rivers, merging memory with
the present, looking back on a life of displacement and discovery,
love and loss. As he writes in the opening poem:Reading the lines
he loveshe slips them into a pocket,wishes to die with his
clothesfull of torn-free stanzasand the telephone numbersof his
children in far citiesPoetry – where language is made to work
hardest and burns with a gem-like flame - is what Ondaatje has
returned to in this intimate history.
