Cyanbrush Cyanbrush cyanbrush — What a beautiful book this is. Each sentence is so carefully wrought, the language always riskily fresh. It is desperately romantic. Though the characterization is at times awkward - a by-product of Ondaatje's risk-taking - one falls achingly in love with the characters. Ondaatje writes piecemeal, crafting scenes, honing characters, and then hoping for a narrative. He has said that the first section he wrote was Caravaggio's theft of the camera in the hotel. The English patient's voice arrived with the word 'aerodrome.' Count Ladislaus de Almásy, Ralph Bagnold, Hassanein Bey, and certain others mentioned in the book were genuine desert explorers. The real Almásy was, however, gay, and probably not the erudite romantic figure of the novel. Though the setting is exotic, some of the Katharine/Geoffrey Clifton/Ladislaus de Almásy triangle may be related to Ondaatje's theft of Kim Ondaatje (thin, blonde, artsy) from her professor husband in Ontario. The themes include identity, religions, encounters across cultures, and youth/age. At one point the English patient says: " There's a painting by Caravaggio, done late in his life. David with the Head of Goliath. In it, the young warrior holds at the end of his outstretched arm the head of Goliath, ravaged and old. But that is not the true sadness in the picture. It is assumed that the face of David is a portrait of the youthful Caravaggio and the head of Goliath is a portrait of him as an older man, how he looked when he did the painting. Youth judging age at the end of its outstretched hand. The judging of ones's own mortality. I think when I see him at the foot of my bed that Kip is my David." But the thief Caravaggio is of course also a portrait of Ondaatje, and one could surmise that the older Ondaatje is judging the young self who committed the infidelities with an older woman. The English Patient gathers many other works into its pages: Anna Karenina, Kim (echoing his first wife's name, and also chiming with Kip), Herodotus' Histories, A Midsummer Night's Dream ("Sometime a fire" is taken from a speech by Puck), Paradise Lost, and jazz lyrics, among others. The book does not entirely work. The final sections, in which Kip, an Indian Sikh, hears of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and imagines "all Asia on fire," then threatens the English patient and drives off in a rage, are silly. As is "meet me at the moondial." Overall, Kip is the least convincing character. His actions lack coherence. However, the scenes in which he watches the Virgin come across the water, and his hours in deserted Naples are lovely. The novel was made into a marvelous film by Anthony Minghella, which somehow manages to capture both the romance and the ungainliness of the book. There are some dreadful scenes (Almásy telling Katharine: "I still have the taste of you in my mouth," while munching chocolate, for example. Or Caravaggio's "What if I said 'Moose'?") But these are offset by the opening scenes with the brushwork fading into the desert and the shadow of the plane, against the background of Hungarian vocals; and the scene where Almásy carries the dead Katharine out of the cave.

Konstantin Kuznichenko skavr — My favorite sci-fi war novel. It's quite old, and was loosely based on the Vietnam War, but the ideas are still relevant to this day. Puts a heavy damper on any enthusiasm about faster than light travel.
