Just finished reading the book by that name. The author is Yan Martel, a Canadian. The book is very good. It is about an Indian from Pondichery who is marooned on a lifeboat with a tiger in the Pacific. Apart from wiritng very entertaining prose, this foriegn author has a surprisingly good understanding of how a (South) Indian would think. Warning: like typical survivor stories, it does get a bit gruesome in parts. Try it sometime...
