A Fox's Wedding: Sitting Down with Michael Ondaatje

Abstract In this interview, Aparna Halpé invites renowned author, Michael Ondaatje to retrace his engagement with Sri Lankan literature, both through the Gratiaen Trust and through his own writing. Held in an informal setting, this dialogue retraces an extremely personal and provocative journey through a great artist's relationship with a country that is close, and yet remains, in many ways, a remote, imaginary homeland. Aiming to address a significant gap in the scholarship on Ondaatje, this conversation bridges the gap between his own forms of literary intervention and his fictional oeuvre.
