Interview
Enjoy an edited chat transcription with Yann Martel, in which he discusses his Booker Award winning novel.
Becky : what was your inspiration in writing Life of Pi?
Yann Martel : Pi was inspired by two things: India, and a so-so review I read ten years ago in the NY Times Review of Books.
Becky : what was the review?
Yann Martel : The review was by Updike of a Brazilian novel.
He panned it, but the premise (of a Jew in a lifeboat with a black panther in 1933) struck me.
Terri : had you visited India prior to deciding to write the book?
Yann Martel : Terri, I've been to India three times, each time with a backpack, dazzled by it all.
Terri : but did you go after you'd decided to write the book?
Yann Martel : Yes.I did research the second time I was there, and then went back to clear up small details.
desigrrl : I love the book too, but I am confused.
