That Shakespeherian Rag | Notes from a Literary Lad

Ba-zing!

Posted 5 January, 2008 in Literary Criticism, Marketing |

Kerry at Pickle Me This has already pointed this zinger out, but it’s just too good to pass up. Philip Marchand, on Michael Ondaatje’s Divisadero:

The [Governor General’s literary] award also made it clear that if Vassanji was a “mystic,” Ondaatje was no slouch in the spiritual department either. “Grace, after all,” the jurors noted, “is the ultimate gift which Ondaatje offers us in Divisadero.”

Some readers would have been satisfied with a good novel.
