Thread Name: OBIT: Mordecai Richler has died
Subject: RE: Mordecai Richler has died
Geez, I'm afraid to open a paper or listen to a radio these days.

I studied "Duddy Kravitz" in High School. It was probably the book that made me realize that literature could be alive. His characters were real people that I could relate to, in real life situations. It was a catalyst for me. Joshua Then & Now was another wonderful book.

You'll be missed Mordecai.
