The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios This superb debut hailed for its power, compassion and elegance takes in the wide sweep of human experience. From the last hours of a condemned man, to the imaginary life of an AIDS patient, to the first performance of a bizarre new symphony, Yann Martel's stories are moving, thought-provoking and as inventive in form as they are timeless in content. They display the startling mix of dazzle and depth, that have made him an international phenomenon.
