Yann Martel
Medium Paperback
Following a painful encounter in London where his new book, inspired by the Nazi abomination, is rejected by his publishers, Henry returns home and stops writing. A page seems to have been turned. Henry continues to respond to his readers who are passionate about his latest novel. Now he receives a letter from one of them asking for his help. He is a taxidermist, but also an apprentice writer whose story of Beatrice and Virgil, a donkey and a monkey, is striking. This fable, which seems to evoke the Holocaust, captivates everything as if what he had thought had been lost in London was reborn before his eyes.
