Written by Michael Ondaatje.

The Cat's Table follows the course of a 21 day voyage from Colombo to Tilbury on a luxury passenger ship called the Oronsay.

Relationships past and present fracture and shift. Michael reflects on his brief marriage to Ramdhin's sister and continues to look back at the voyage which launched him upon the shores of the adult world.
