Splash du Jour: Monday

It's a discovery of a story when I write a book, a case of inching ahead on each page and discovering what's beyond in the darkness, beyond where you're writing.
-- Michael Ondaatje –
On this day in 1943, Michael Ondaatje was born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). He is of Dutch-Indian ancestry, was raised in London, and has lived in Toronto since the age of nineteen. He is perhaps best known for his 1992 Booker Prize winning novel The English Patient, which was made into an Academy Award winning (Best Picture) movie, and for his 2000 Giller Prize winning novel, Anil’s Ghost.
Have a great Monday!
