　　Philip Michael Ondaatje CC FRSL (/ɒnˈdɑːtʃiː/; born 12 September 1943), is a Sri Lankan-born Canadian poet, fiction writer, essayist,[1] novelist, editor, and filmmaker. He is the recipient of multiple literary awards such as the Governor General's Award, the Giller Prize, the Booker Prize, and the Prix Médicis étranger.[2] Ondaatje is also an Officer of the Order of Canada, recognizing him as one of Canada's most renowned living authors.[2][3]
　　
　　Ondaatje's literary career began with his poetry in 1967, publishing The Dainty Monsters, and then in 1970 the critically acclaimed The Collected Works of Billy the Kid.[2] However, he is more recently recognized for his nationally and internationally successful novel The English Patient (1992), which was adapted into a film in 1996.[2] In 2018, Ondaatje won the Golden Man Booker Prize for The English Patient.[4]
　　
　　In addition to his literary writing, Ondaatje has been an important force in "fostering new Canadian writing"[5] with two decades commitment to Coach House Press (around 1970–90), and his editorial credits on Canadian literary projects like the journal Brick, and the Long Poem Anthology (1979), among others.[5]
