43 The Life and Times of Mordecai Richler

Mordecai Richler’s appearances at the Writers Festival were legendary. And now, Charles Foran, with this definitive, detailed and intimate life story of Richler, the lion of Canadian literature will come to life again. Foran, who had access to family letters and archives, used them to draw this rich and passionate portrait of an outsized and outrageous man whose real life reads like fiction. A young bohemian and irreverent writer, Richler was also a passionate and controversial Canadian, a loyal friend and deeply romantic lover. Foran has captured his essence, warts and all. This event will be the first public event to celebrate publication of this important biography.
