Poet, novelist, filmmaker and editor Michael Ondaatje is known for his work that blends or counterposes the factual and the imaginary, poetry and prose.
It is this trait - the juxtaposition of opposite images and the exploration of seemingly incongruent ideas - that links almost all of his works.
Probably best known for his novel The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje is the chosen author for this week's Bookmark with Umapagan Ampikaipakan, who discusses this Sri Lankan-born Canadian novelist's works and life.
