Mordecai Richler: a Life in Ten Novels Ada Craniford

Richler RevealedWickedly amusing and deceptively familiar, Mordecai Richler has been praised, reviled, and-many times-misunderstood. Intrigued by Richler's defiant denial that his personal history plays any part in his fiction, we unveil the life-altering events he semi-discloses. Amazed at his brazen plundering of past and present literary works, we watch as he reworks the stories and poems of other writers, for purposes of his own. Carefully researched and entertainingly presented, these revelations will forever alter the way you read Richler's novels, and think about his life.
