Life of Pi, that's about a boy from India, right? I did hear about it like 20 years ago
Yes. His family owns a zoo in India and decide to immigrate to the United States.
So his parents decided to move to the US. Good idea. And the book follows his adventures in the New World?
No. The ship they're on is sunk mid-ocean, and Pi, still a child, is the only human survivor in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger....
A tiger, Who ate whom?
Heh, you need to read the book! It's a grand adventure. Life at sea with a ravenous large cat as your only companion!
Thanks for the recommendation. The author has been acclaimed for other books. Beatrice and Virgil was a best seller. Pii was his best work to date
Thanks for that information! I'll have to read Beatrice and Virgil.
I guess Martel is Jewish as Beatrice and Virgil deals alot with the Holocaust
May be. Pi is a precocious child who explores many religions before his adventure. It's one of the themes of the novel; another is the resilience we learn from stories.
Thanks for the info about Yann Martel books
