=Writing Style of Yann Martel=

Italics
Yann Martel uses an unusual technique to give the setting, a peeek into the future, and other things in italicized sections throughout the book. __Life of Pi__ is one of those books that you have to read the author's note in order to understand it. According to the author's note, these italicized sections are the author talking about meeting Pi, as if Yann Martel has not already written the story. It is Martel "interviewing" Pi to hear his story, thus giving Martel inspiration to write __Life of Pi__.
