Book Synopsis

Between Homelands in Michael Ondaatjeâs Fiction is a comprehensive study of the novels of the Sri Lankan-Canadian author and poet, Michael Ondaatje. This survey of the Booker Prize-winning novelistâs works locates him as a powerful voice that urges globalization and multiculture in a world that is closing its borders. It reconnoitres Ondaatjeâs search for a homeland by cracking open the core of his evocative, inventive, and innovative concepts that undergird his art of storytelling. The contributors in this volume examine themes such as literary cosmopolitanism, Sri Lankan identity, diasporic identity, race and racism, home and belonging, trauma in the Sri Lankan civil war, war games, and uncertainty theory.

An important contribution to Ondaatje studies, the book is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of Sri Lankan literature, diasporic and world literatures, South Asian and Canadian studies, cultural studies, postcolonial fiction, and history.
