A review by bizzyfenly
Life of Pi, by Yann Martel

5.0

Is it Pascale's Wager waiting for the reader's acknowledgement or the lens of memory retelling a traumatic experience as an artistic parable that seeks to build meaning from the loss? The reader is asked to decide and, even if the reader does not agree to the terms of the wager, by reading this book, the reader gives up ignorance and, accordingly, has no choice but to play. Who is Pi's tiger? What does the constant survival contest between carnivore and prey represent? Who are you by the end of this story? I guess it depends on how you feel when you arrive "and so it is with God".
