Beatrice and Virgil Book + PRICE WATCH

Beatrice and Virgil Book

A controversial story where once again Yann Martell, following on from his well deserved success with 'The life of Pi' uses animal metaphors to tell a serious story. Martell denies autobiographical reference to the story which begins with an author suffering from writers block following a successful debut novel. The author, Henry is looking for a fresh and creative way of retelling the story of the holocaust, but his methodology is rejected by his agent and publisher. Beatrice and Virgil is a play that has been 40 years in the making, that Henry (the author) learns from Henry (the playwright) and is the story of a howler monkey and a donkey who undertake a journey to discover the meaning of truth, deceit, collusion and accountability.
