Tran 1 Duc Tran INDV 150 10/03/2009 Why they survived The novel “Life of Pi” by Yann Mantel is one of the most interesting ones I have ever read.

Reviewers were puzzled, or damned it with faint praise. Then readers ignored it. Despite my best efforts at playing the clown or the trapeze artist, the media circus made no difference.
