"Wondrous. . . . A new form of literary magic." --The San Francisco Chronicle
"Mesmerizing. . . . As he did in his great novel, The English Patient, Ondaatje conjures images that pull strangers into the vivid rooms of his imagination, their detail illumined by his words." --The New York Times Book Review "Lithe and quietly profound: a tale about the magic of adolescence and the passing strangers who help tip us into adulthood in ways we don't become aware of until much later." --The Washington Post "Enthralling and poignant. . . . A captivating reminder that it can take decades to comprehend the past, let alone to make amends with it." --The Seattle Times "To capture truly any moment of life is an achievement of art. To find captured, in a single work, such disparate experiences--of youth and age, of action and reflection, of innocence and experience--is a rare pleasure. If each of Ondaatje's novels is like a new flower, then this one smells particularly sweet." --Claire Messud, The New York Review of BooksIn the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the “cat’s table”—as far from the Captain’s Table as can be—with a ragtag group of “insignificant” adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship crosses the Indian Ocean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury. But there are other diversions as well: they are first exposed to the magical worlds of jazz, women, and literature by their eccentric fellow travelers, and together they spy on a shackled prisoner, his crime and fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever. By turns poignant and electrifying, The Cat’s Table is a spellbinding story about the magical, often forbidden, discoveries of childhood, and a lifelong journey that begins unexpectedly with a spectacular sea voyage.
