In The Cat's Table (Knopf Doubleday, 288 pp.) “The English Patient” author Michael Ondaatje builds a gorgeous novel around the adventures of Michael, an 11-year-old boy on an ocean voyage from the former Ceylon to England. Michael’s life becomes intertwined with a fascinating cast of characters on the ship as his journey becomes a trip toward adulthood. Monitor critic Yvonne Zipp calls “The Cat’s Table” “a voyage highly worth taking.” (CSMonitor.com, 11/10/11)
