Martel is an avid traveler, a scrupulous researcher, and a dedicated scholar of philosophy and religious studies. Published in forty-four countries, his work has gained international recognition.  Before becoming a writer, Yann Martel was a man of many trades—a tree-planter, a dishwasher, and a security guard.      Recognition of Book Club Members with Special Book Club Raffle.
