About This Book
A modern-day Orlando -- edgy, funny and startlingly honest -- Self is
the fictional autobiography of a young writer and traveller who finds
his gender changed overnight.
"Let me tell you a secret: The name of the greatest living writer of the
generation born in the sixties is Yann Martel." -- L'Humanite
"This is an exhilarating piece of fiction, as bold and original as
anything I've read in a long time." -- Charles Foran, Montreal Gazette
"A powerful story, punctuated by humour and tragedy in much the way real
life is. -- Like Rohinton Mistry and Michael Ondaatje, Martel is a
brilliant storyteller." -- Vancouver Sun
"Superb -- Masterfully written. -- Martel has an almost otherworldly
talent. -- He is a powerful writer and storyteller, almost a force of
nature." -- Edmonton Journal
"Yann Martel wonderfully represents the child's universe as a seamless
whole...A penetrating, funny, original and absolutely delightful
exploration.... [Martel] is a natural and often brilliant essayist and
expositor, with a knack for aphorism and a rich cultural and literary
foundation." -- Globe and Mail
"So vigorous and confident and sure-footed...so compelling, that Self's
education does end up being part of the reader's. Like all good
educations, it is hard to forget, once absorbed." -- Toronto Star
"Engaging...There's some real insight here....Self is filled with things
that sound a lot like the truth...now and again you encounter things
that read so true, the sound they make resonates for hours, or even
days. Self is still ringing in my ears." -- Hour Magazine
"Mesmerizing...Linguistic treats dance across the page, and the subject
-- a young person's life -- careens between the remarkably realistic and
the wildly imaginative.... Martel is a gifted writer: his language
saunters and soars.... Martel addresses important issues and does so
creatively and seriously. He deserves to be read." -- Calgary Herald
