UT Austin Acquires Michael Ondaatje Archives

The archive of award-winning author Michael Ondaatje has been acquired by the Harry Ransom Center, the humanities research library and museum at the University of Texas at Austin. Ondaatje is author of the Booker Prize-winning novel The English Patient; his archive fills more than 90 boxes, including research notes containing background detail on the places where his fiction is set and dozens of handwritten notebooks, often resembling scrapbooks, in which he composed his novels. Also present are audio recordings of Ondaatje dictating his difficult handwriting to a typist, and, finally, heavily annotated printed drafts.
