Mordecai Richler (1931 2001) was a Canadian writer, best known for The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1959) and Barney's Version (1997). His 1970 novel St. Urbain's Horseman and 1989 novel Solomon Gursky Was Here were shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He wrote repeatedly about the Anglophone community of Montreal and especially about his former neighbourhood, portraying it in multiple novels, including Richler published his fourth novel, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, in 1959. The book featured a frequent Richler theme: Jewish life in the 1930s and 40s in the neighbourhood of Montreal east of Mount Royal Park on and about St. Urbain Street and Saint Laurent Boulevard (known colloquially as "The Main"). Richler wrote of the neighbourhood and its people, chronicling the hardships and disabilities they faced as a Jewish minority: "To a middle-class stranger, it is true, one street would have seemed as squalid as the next. On each corner a cigar store, a grocery, and a fruit man. Outside staircases everywhere. Winding ones, wooden ones, rusty and risky ones. Here a prized lot of grass splendidly barbered, there a spitefully weedy patch. An endless repetition of precious peeling balconies and waste lots making the occasional gap here and there." First Edition Thus (1964) , Fourteenth Printing (1980). The hardcover edition was first published in 1959.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Richler's ninth novel and, arguably, his most ambitious, is the story of the Gursky family, told by Moses Berger, son of a failed poet, and long obsessed with Solomon Gursky. It is a comic-tragic story that ranges from the underworld of 19th century London through the Franklin Expedition to the Arctic to Prohibition and bootlegging on the prairies and eastern townships of Quebec. It is an unconventional Arctic, Jewish, financial and alcoholic history of Canada, peopled unforgettable rogues, heroes and heroines. First edition, first printing (as stated, with complete number line). About 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches, 557 pages in light-grey, pulp-textured paper-covered boards with blue lettering on spine. Dustjacket's front panel shows author and title in black lettering above a photo of a raven, all against a light-grey background. Same black lettering and raven on spine. Back panel shows full-cover, b & w photo of author. Other than a blue remainder mark on bottom edge of text, the book's boards and text are complete, clean and unmarked. No noticeable flaws or damage, no tearing, creasing or bumping. Binding is tight, book is square. Not ex-library. Dustjacket shows a closed, half-inch tear on upper edge of front panel, a couple of tiny edge tears and other minor edge wear. A single, inch-long scratch on back panel photo in background above author's head. Not price-clipped. Overall, a quite collectable copy of a book shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 1990.
