Everything. The past with its good and bad memories, with guilt and frustration ... but also the future with its hopes, its destiny to be written and pending wishes.
Everything is concentrated in the present when the tragedy appears near. Being shipwrecked in an ocean kills you or teaches you to survive against your inner beasts and the unusual companions that the storm left by your side.
The life of Pi is a fable with an explosive ending. Perhaps it is even the first fable in which the human is transformed into the animal, upsetting the traditional fable conception.
Or maybe life itself is always a fable ... in this book you might find out.
