Books: Life Of Pi - Yann Martel

Yann Martel is in the news today, so it seems a good day to recommend his first book, Life Of Pi, which won the Booker prize in 2003. It tells the story of a shipwrecked boy who makes friends with a tiger called Richard Parker, though the whole tale may or may not be an allegory for something else entirely. Martel's next book, if you'd like to know, will feature a donkey and a howling monkey and may or may not be an allegorical re-telling of the Holocaust.
