Author Bio

Mordecai Richler

Richler is the author, most memorably, of THE APPRENTICESHIP OF DUDDY KRAVITS, as well as many other works of fiction. Though he spent 20 years of his life in Europe, he always wrote about Montreal, and returned there permanently in 1972. Richler was one of the few writers to explore the dual experiences of being Jewish and living in Canada, and being an English-speaker in a largely Francophone area ("a minority within a minority"). Richler won the won the Governor General's Literary Award, Canada's highest writing prize, in 1968 and again in 1971. He had two wives and five children; he died of cancer at the age of 70.
