Suraj Sharma played Pi in the film, which was directed by Ang Lee, who won an Academy Award for Best Director for Life of Pi in 2013. Life of Pi was published as an illustrated version in 2007 (drawn by Tomislav Torjanac), adapted as a play in 2003, and adapted for film in 2007. Martel advises his readers to suspend their disbelief in order to better understand the mind's extraordinary ability to deal with the most exceptional of events. Life of Pi follows Pi Patel, an Indian youngster who is shipwrecked in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with a wounded zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and Richard Parker, a huge Bengal tiger. In 2003, it was included on the CBC's Canada Reads series. This best-selling novel, which won the prestigious Man Booker Prize in Britain in 2002, was also nominated for the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best Book and the Governor General's Literary Award (among others). After the phenomenal success of his third book, Life of Pi, Martel ascended to international prominence (2001).
