First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Aislin (illustrator). [10],212, [2] pages. With the compliments of the author card laid in. This book is the first collection of Mordecai Richler's short stories. This book contains fifteen short stories, on subjects as varied as Bond, Why I Write, A Sense of the Ridiculous, Gordon Craig, Writing for the Movies, Notes on an Endangered Species, The Great Comic Book Heroes, The Catskills, Jews in Sport; Intimate Behaviour, Following the Babylonian Talmud, After Maimonides., With the Trail Smoke Eater in Stockholm, Going Home, Expo 67, "Etes-vous canadien?" Mordecai Richler (January 27, 1931 - July 3, 2001) was a Canadian writer. His best known works are The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1959) and Barney's Version (1997). His 1970 novel St. Urbain's Horseman and 1989 novel Solomon Gursky Was Here were shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He is also well known for the Jacob Two-Two children's fantasy series. In addition to his fiction, Richler wrote numerous essays about the Jewish community in Canada, and about Canadian and Quebec nationalism. Richler's Oh Canada! Oh Quebec! (1992), a collection of essays about nationalism and anti-Semitism, generated considerable controversy. Derived from a Kirkus review: Reviews and essays by the Canadian novelist who's making a fine name for himself internationally but is still called a pariah at home. For his own part, he's just come grudgingly back to Montreal, after having gone to the ends of the earth to get away -- Hollywood, Oxbridge, the Left Bank, Cannes -- so it's no wonder we now detect signs of conflict and hear several voices on the wire. There's the unsparingly above-it-all observer of chic scenes; the snide debater; the bemused "reputation" reviewing his disreputable youth in a rather braggardly vein of repudiation; and, now and then, there's an asocial burst from the beatnikish kid he was. He is, at least, consistently Jewish, alert to the anti-Semitism of the Bond books and the excessive Semitism of others, and to all the devilish nuances of being a Jewish boy. But here, too, there are such a number of delicate contradictions that by the time he gets to Grossinger's, say, he has just about canceled out any real possibility of comment. A greater identity problem lies in his relationship to the establishment, and his contrary desires to be both epateur and arbiter, which he manages by being essentially just contrary. Thus we learn that Gordon Craig in his dotage is slightly more to be pitied than scorned; that producers are to be regarded the same way; that Joe McCarthy was a "cultural broom" and ultimate boon to Hollywood. This negative to outright pugnacious attitude is not necessarily a liability to an essay-reviewer, but with Richler's other, consummate assets it seems gratuitous. His piece on Desmond Morris' Intimate Behavior, for example, is scathingly funny and brilliant; and so well executed. We carp so not because he's bad, but perhaps too good, and he is a great entertainer. First American Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing.
