Review:
Alfred Kazin

It comes off brilliantly.



"The Washington Times"

A fast-moving, entertaining, and bawdy novel.



Minneapolis "Star Tribune"

Duddy Kravitz İis¨ Richler's most famous creation.



"Los Angeles Times"

Funny in the biting, subversive manner of Joseph Heller and Philip Roth.



"The Washington Times"

It is time to recognize Mr. Richler as one of North America's most powerful novelists.



"Chicago Tribune"

A rasping humor pervades the book....It burgeons with its special talent and a vulgar vitality.



"The New York Times Book Review"

Richler has been praised for his clear-eyed vision and his realistic style.... The total effect is as brash and blatant as a sports car rally -- and as suggestive of power.

From the Back Cover:
From Mordecai Richler, one of our greatest satirists, comes one of literature's most delightful characters, Duddy Kravitz -- in a novel that belongs in the pantheon of seminal twentieth century books.

Duddy -- the third generation of a Jewish immigrant family in Montreal -- is combative, amoral, scheming, a liar, and totally hilarious. From his street days tormenting teachers at the Jewish academy to his time hustling four jobs at once in a grand plan to "be somebody, " Duddy learns about living -- and the lesson is an outrageous roller-coaster ride through the human comedy. As Richler turns his blistering commentary on love, money, and politics, THE APPRENTICESHIP OF DUDDY KRAVITZ becomes a lesson for us all...in laughter and in life.
