- Ondaatje, (Philip) Michael
-
born Sept. 12, 1943, Colombo, Ceylon
Sri Lankan-born Canadian novelist and poet.
He immigrated to Montreal at age 19 and attended the University of Toronto and Queen's University. His fascination with the American West led to one of his most celebrated works, the pastiche
The Collected Works of Billy the Kid (1970). His novel
The English Patient (1992, Booker Prize; film, 1996) won him international recognition; it was followed by
Anil's Ghost (2000). His musical poetry and prose are a blend of myth, history, jazz, memoirs, and other forms.
