Abstract

The Empire Writes Back
Hutcheon, Linda | January 4, 1993 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The English Patient," by Michael Ondaatje. The lapidary quality of its language and its almost formal architecture of rhythm and mood make it a rather differently told story of a different kind of field hospital romance in the war-torn Italy of the next war. Onclaatje is one of a large number of Canadian poets turned novelists. Fictional characters presented in the book inhabit a historical Toronto, in the process of being built by both anonymous workers and named city commissioners.
