Why isn't Michael Chabon's name mentioned at all on here? This is a discussion with both Michael Ondaatje AND Michael Chabon.

He wasn't referring to Ondaatje as the American Writer, he was referring to the man who was introducing Ondaatje

Three people to introduce?

And anyway, Canada is part of America...North America.

Michael Ondaatje is incredible. This is the WORST interview and presentation I have ever seen. What a bunch of fluffs. They wasted the time and energy of M. Ondaatje and the viewers!
