Yann Martel
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.
