The composition, You Are Where You Are, is based on text written by Martel, which includes parts of cellphone conversations taken from moments in an ordinary day. He collaborated with Omar Daniel, composer-in-residence at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, on a piece for piano, string quartet and bass. Martel spent a year in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan from September 2003 as the public library's writer-in-residence.

Life of Pi was later chosen for the 2003 edition of CBC Radio's Canada Reads competition, where it was championed by author Nancy Lee. In 2001, he published Life of Pi, which was awarded the Man Booker Prize in 2002.
