Michael Ondaatje Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. September 12, 1943
Birthday: September 12
So the books for the Englishman, as he listened intently or not, had gaps of plot like sections of a road washed out by storms, missing incidents as if locusts had consumed a section of tapestry, as if plaster loosened by the bombing had fallen away from a mural at night.
