As Pi struggles to coexist on a lifeboat with a tiger, he comes to understand the human condition. Pi and a Bengal tiger are the only survivors. They leave India by boat, but the ship sinks on the way. In the midst of this, the protagonist, Piscine Patel (known as Pi) emigrates from India to Canada with his family. Set against the backdrop of a period of Indian history known as the Emergency, the novel opens in the southern Indian city of Pondicherry, which was once the capital of French India, and the story explores the tensions facing this tiny city during a time of deep political turmoil. Considered most simply, Yann Martel's acclaimed novel, Life of Pi (2001), can be described as a postcolonial novel, focusing on the culture and stories of a former British colony (in this case, India.) But to see this novel only as a postcolonial story is to limit its possibilities. Neither hard fantasy nor hard sci-fi are preferred. They want horror science fiction and fantasy stories, with an emphasis on below the water.

Hannah Ewens: I loved this little line – she recognises her privilege as her detractors or a reader might. On the other hand, her privilege is essential for our suspension of disbelief, since no ordinary person would have the ability to just opt out of society in the way the narrator does. The narrator’s privilege in terms of wealth and beauty throws into sharper relief the things she is missing and has missed out on in life, such as nurturing parents and the ability to relate to other people. Her isolation and disaffection with the outside world seem quite in-keeping with the concept of affluenza. It’s quite clear that she takes the trappings of luxury for granted. In response, she says, “I was born into privilege, I’m not going to squander that I’m not a moron.” How does the novel present the privilege of its narrator?Įleri: The narrator’s privilege is presented in quite a matter-of-fact way.
