.... and Christopher Ondaatje’s too

Sir Christopher Ondaatje’s latest book ‘The Power of Paper’, priced at Rs. 1,800 was launched yesterday at the Visidunu Stall C 151- C 153 at the Colombo International Book Fair at the BMICH.

‘This is as close as Christopher Ondaatje intends to wade into the quicksands of autobiography. It is a tall tale that deserves to be told….. a magnificent saga worthy of a Korda film’, the book’s jacket cover says.

Sir Christopher’s other publications such as “Woolf In Ceylon”, “Visions of an Island”, “Man –Eater of Punanai”, “Hemingway in Africa”, and “Journey to the Source of the Nile” will also be available at discounted prices at the Book Fair.
