Praise for 101 Letters to a Prime Minister

"Not just a book of letters from an annoyed writer who is trying to make a political point . . . but a collection of reflections on reading; that is, a work of art speaking to a work of art. . . . A wonderful addition to our cultural vocabulary. Anyone who believes that the art of the letter is not dead, and that reading is still a vital and powerful way to shape the way we see and change the world, will not be disappointed by the eclectic and intriguing mixture of titles Martel presents."
—The Globe and Mail

"Interesting and crisp, with unique reasoning. . . . I am leaning towards agreeing with Yann Martel, that, just as we are what we eat, maybe we are also, what we read." —Agassiz-Harrison Observer

"Martel's incisive, insightful musings make powerful arguments for the importance of books."
—Prairie Books NOW

"For political watchers, the most interesting parts of 101 Letters to a Prime Minister will be when Martel gets personal with the prime minister in his short but sometimes scathing letters. . . . There is no doubt that Martel offers an eclectic, inspiring collection of literature with 101 Letters to a Prime Minister. Perhaps it will inspire others to pick up a copy of Generation A by Douglas Coupland or Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coetzee, both of which he recommends." —iPolitics
