- Abstract
Presents literary criticism of the late Mordecai Richler's books "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz," "St. Urbain's Horseman" and "Solomon Gursky Was Here" is presented. It describes the characters of the books as ineffectual male protagonists who fall from the mark of ideal manliness. It cites several criticisms against the pattern of hero worship in the novels of Richler, including Michael Greenstein's study of Jewish Canadian literature and Rachel Feldhay Brenner's studies of the writing of Richler as a Holocaust response.
