I really enjoyed it, but you're not going to get much out of these American pigdogs with Canadian lit.

>> No.773643

The only Canadian lit I've read is Alice Munro and a bit of Margaret Atwood. Also, Fifth Business and The Book of Negroes.

I really liked The English Patient. Pity the movie adaptation was so bad

Never read it. Heard the movie won an Oscar a while ago. I really liked In The Skin of a Lion. Is the English Patient as good?

>> No.773674

I think that the title comes from The Epic of Gilgamesh.

Yep. It's the opening quote for the book.
