  • Sleeping with Herodotus in the English Patient
    Sleeping with Herodotus in The English Patient VERNON PROVENCAL But we were interested in how our lives could mean something to the past. … We all slept with Herodotus. (Ondaatje, English 142) 1. HE AMBIVALENCE1 OF HERODOTUS as the “Father of History” in The English Patient lies at the heart of its enigmatic narrative, which foregrounds what might be best described as Michael T 2 Ondaatje’s sense of the “choreography of history.” Linda Hutcheon has usefully characterized Ondaatje’s earlier work as creating what we might call a “historiographic” referent. Unlike the historical (or real) referent, this one is created in and by the text’s writing (hence, historiographic). The referent here is doubled; it par- takes of two “realities.” … History, like narrative, becomes therefore a process, not a product. … Here the processes of recording and nar- rating history becomes part of the text itself. (Canadian 86) So characterized, Ondaatje’s narratological view of history places him in the proximity of postcolonial/postmodern historicism that treats “history” as “text” (White, Said, Iggers, Himmelfarb). In his novels, the “textual nar- rative” of history is often fictively reconfigured, as though the relation- ships between historical events were a matter of mere (Foucauldian?) propinquity,3 Ondaatje’s artistic freedom to reconfigure historical associa- tions as more or less accidental or fatal expresses what I perceive to be his sense of the “choreography of history.” Admittedly, then, The English Patient presents us with a postcolo- nial/postmodern criticism of The Histories, such as that described by Mark Simpson, as “narrating the key yet inadmissible significance of his- torical invention and narrative instability in traditions of Western epis- temology” (221).
