Ondaatje's Grandma/Running in the Family

Abstract: A 5 page essay that examines Michael Ondaatje's autobiography, Running in the Family, and focuses on the chapter that describes his grandmother, Lalla. Ondaatje calls Lalla an "overbearing charmed flower" (125), and one can readily see what he means from his brilliant, if somewhat fictionalized, characterization. No other sources cited.
