...wondrous childhood in Pondicherry, India, as the son of zoo owners. In his adolescence, Pi becomes promiscuously religious: he decides he wants to be Hindu, Muslim and Christian, devoutly and simultaneously. His pandit, his imam and his priest are less than pleased. Pi doesn't see the problem. Gandhi, he reminds them, said "all religions are true," and as for himself, he says, "I just want to love...
