Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION AND PRINTING. In the plot of this critically revered, Booker Prize-winning author's novel: "We begin with a young girl sitting in a car in the early morning hours. The man beside her is telling her a story, his story-of his boyhood in the Canadian backwoods, of his arrival in the bustling Toronto of the 1920s, of the passionate and fabulous adventures he underwent there. His name is Patrick Lewis, and as his tale unfolds, other people come forward to illuminate his life: the two women-friends, actresses-whom he loved.an elusive millionaire.a charmed thief.a nun blown off a bridge, only to be plucked-in midair-to safety. Each has his or her moment at the center of the story, as it progresses, as it doubles back on itself, as its full meaning and splendor are finally revealed." 244 pages. Author Russell Banks's DJ blurb for the book exults: "Michael Ondaatje's fiction is as original and evocative as any being written today. A brilliantly imaginative blend of history, lore, passion and poetry, 'In the Skin of a Lion' is his best book." LF.
