Life
of Pi,
by Yann Martel
The Way Through Doors, by Jesse Ball
"Life of Pi could renew your faith in the ability of novelists to invest even the most outrageous scenario with plausible life."
— The New York Times
Book Review
"A story to make you believe in the soul-sustaining power of fiction."
— Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A gripping adventure story . . . Laced with wit, spiced with terror, it's a book by an extraordinary talent."
— St. Paul Pioneer-Press
“As long as you don't insist on a strictly literal, cause-and-effect universe, the world of this novel—which feels more like a long poem—will mesmerize you. Here, ends are beginnings. Beginnings don't end. And stories are mirrors, eternally facing each other, bouncing off each other, splitting into dozens of oddly shaped pieces, into harmless shards of magic and longing.”
–The Chicago Tribune
