Paper Summary:

The author of this paper briefly summarizes Michael Ondaatje's book, "Anil's Ghost", and then goes on to describe the weakness of Ondaatje's book. The author contends that the book lacks a central theme, has weak character development, and that much of the text is superfluous.

From the Paper:

""Anil's Ghost," can be read as a war story or it can also be seen as a tale of young woman coming back to her native land to find that she can no longer relate to the land or its culture. However from both perspectives, the book lacks depth and purpose, which is unfortunate since the author was not writing about some far off land but about his own country and their people. The problem with the book lies in its ambiguously developed characters and a general lack of central theme."
