        			&quot;Let me tell you a secret: The name of the greatest living writer of the generation born in the sixties is Yann Martel.&quot; --&quot; L&apos;Humanite &quot;&quot;This is an exhilarating piece of fiction, as bold and original as anything I&apos;ve read in a long time.&quot; -- Charles Foran, &quot;Montreal Gazette &quot;&quot;A powerful story, punctuated by humour and tragedy in much the way real life is. -- Like Rohinton Mistry and Michael Ondaatje, Martel is a brilliant storyteller.&quot; -- &quot;Vancouver Sun &quot;&quot;Superb -- Masterfully written. -- Martel has an almost otherworldly talent. -- He is a powerful writer and storyteller, almost a force of nature.&quot; -- &quot;Edmonton Journal &quot;&quot;Yann Martel wonderfully represents the child&apos;s universe as a seamless whole...A penetrating, funny, original and absolutely delightful exploration.... [Martel] is a natural and often brilliant essayist and expositor, with a knack for aphorism and a rich cultural and literary foundation.&quot; -- &quot;Globe and Mail &quot;&quot;So vigorous and confident and sure-footed...so compelling, that Self&apos;s education does end up being part of the reader&apos;s. Like all good educations, it is hard to forget, once absorbed.&quot; --&quot; Toronto Star&quot; &quot;Engaging...There&apos;s some real insight here....Self is filled with things that sound a lot like the truth...now and again you encounter things that read so true, the sound they make resonates for hours, or even days. Self is still ringing in my ears.&quot; -- &quot;Hour Magazine&quot; &quot;Mesmerizing...Linguistic treats dance across the page, and the subject -- a young person&apos;s life -- careens between the remarkably realistic and the wildly imaginative.... Martel is a gifted writer: his language saunters and soars.... Martel addresses important issues anddoes so creatively and seriously. He deserves to be read.&quot; --&quot; Calgary Herald&quot;
