eve_primeThis afternoon I finished The Man-Eater of Punanai, in which Christopher Ondaatje interweaves the story of a visit to his boyhood home in Sri Lanka, his relationship with his late father, the terrorism and violence that now pervade the countryside, and a quest to encounter the great leopards who still rule over the island's wilderness. I am entranced with the poetry of the Sri Lankan placenames!
Trincomalee
Batticaloa
Sigiriya
Tissamaharama
The island is full of cultural and archaeological treasures, and natural beauty too; it's such a pity about the political situation. Maybe a partition is the answer.
In other news, my yellowjackets essay now includes all of my responses to their critique. Such a liberating feeling! If you're interested in reading it before I send it in, please speak up.
