This is my first book by this author. It felt too disjointed for me, maybe it was too intricate for me to follow, maybe I couldn't pick up on the subtleties of the characters, maybe... there are too many maybes so maybe this book just wasn't for me. I did however like the story of Lucien Segura... that was something I could follow and someone I could care about (I don't know what the rest was about). Maybe if I read it again at a later date I might understand what Ondaatje was writing about. Maybe.
