Riassunto

From Venice to Vietnam, from the Welsh coast to Cairo, Don Meredith has traveled in the wake of twentieth-century writers, using their novels and poems as guides, as another wayfarer might turn to Fodor’s or the Guide Bleu. He has gone in search of the back streets, basilicas, cafes, piazzas, and countrysides that figured so powerfully in the works of authors who are especially attuned to a sense of place.

Part travelogue, part literary study, Varieties of Darkness is Meredith’s account of his exploration of Michael Ondaatje’s fascinating literary masterpieceThe English Patient. Meredith mines the places, the real-life counterparts of the characters, and the curious creative mind of Ondaatje.Varieties of Darkness offers fresh insights into the novel and Ondaatje’s prodigious use of scholarly detail.
