About this ebook
From the author of Life of Pi, comes an edgy, funny and devastating novel. Self is the fictional autobiography of a young writer at the heart of which is a startling twist. This extraordinary life meanders through a rich, complicated, bittersweet world. The discoveries of childhood give way to the thousand pangs of adolescence, culminating in the sudden shocking news of an accident abroad. And as adulthood begins, indecisively, boundaries are crossed between countries, languages and people . . .

interesting themes but poorly executed in writing. It was hard to get through, and honestly, I skipped a lot of the fluff. I believe it can be appreciated for what it is not - a semi auto biographical work on Martel. Beyond this, the exploration of gender identity, sex, intimacy which had promise in the first two or through chapters turned into a sort of solipsism.

An amazing life journey, sad, mad, bad, hard to put down.
