im realising that like no one is doing "in the skin of a lion" for this module which really sucks... cause i really really need info on this annoyingly fragmented text ... so if anyone happens to know stuff on the readings, themes etc please reply!! i have to do a presentation of the chapters, caravaggio and remorse on Monday so stuff on those chapters would be sweet .... thanks

ooh! I felt *exactly* the same way as you this time last year.

Obviously don't have the books any more though, refresh me on exactly what happens in those chapters?

I found Ondaatje looked a lot at marginalised characters in ITSOAL - look at how they are represented. Oh, and the magic word, "METAPHOR". Elliptical structure - NOT round, NOT perfect.

Lyrical prose, but lack of clear distinctions. Lots and lots and lots of references to art.

Here's a big hint from Alice: "You reach people through metaphor" (not sure what chapter this is in)
