As a child, Michael Ondaatje took a long ocean voyage from Sri Lanka to England.  He's now gone back to that experience and used a highly fictionalized account for his novel "The Cat's Table."  He talks with Jim Fleming about the fine line between fiction and memoir and his own experience as a young boy who sailed to England.
