Table of ContentsReviews“By analyzing Richler’s ethical commitments, Mauer opens up not only Richler’s work, but also crucial Canadian-Jewish issues of the period. Her analysis of the Richlerian hero’s relation to the law is both compelling and sophisticated.” Zailig Pollock, Trent University “A timely and astute investigation of Richler’s work, one that takes the writer to task for his weaknesses without losing sight of his valuable contributions to Canadian letters. Rooted in solid academic research, Mauer’s book is also engagingly written and entertaining.” Krzysztof Majer, University of Lodz “Mauer’s book is a careful, deeply admirable work of literary scholarship, of great value to anyone who studies modern Jewish literature.” Canadian Jewish Studies “By analyzing Richler’s ethical commitments, Mauer opens up not only Richler’s work, but also crucial Canadian-Jewish issues of the period.
