Yann Martel was born in 1963. He grew up in Spain but traveled and lived in all different parts of the world: Costa Rica, France, and Mexico. Yann attended Trent University and recieved a dregree in philosophy. At the age of 27 he decided that he wanted to become a writer and he ended up publishing his first book in 1993. When he was older he traveled to different parts of the world: Canada and India were two of the many. (Similar to the book because Pi originally lived in India but then his family decided to move to Canada with some of their zoo animals.) Also, Yann visited many zoos while in India which is also relevent to the book, Life of Pi. He is still living today and is in the process of writing a new book.
