Life of Pi, by Yann Martel |
How
to be Good |
|
"Life of Pi is a real adventure: brutal, tender, expressive, dramatic, and disarmingly funny. . . . It's difficult to stop reading when the pages run out." --San Francisco Chronicle |
"The pleasure of Hornby's amiably dyspeptic fiction lies in his sharp eye for the absurdities of contemporary culture. . . . [He] forces you to think about the tense bourgeois minuet between self-interest and morality, about the difference between applauding and doing good works. . . . The result is a farce that manages to be breezily hilarious and thought-provoking at the same time." --New York Magazine |
