The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz
Mordecai Richler
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, moneyand politics, The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz becomes a lessonin laughter and in life. (From Penguin)
From the book
What with his wife so ill these past few weeks and the prospect of three more days of teaching before the weekend break, Mr. MacPherson felt unusually glum. He trudged along St. Dominique Street to within sight of the school. Because it was early and he wanted to avoid the Masters' Room, he paused for an instant in the snow. When he had first seen that building some twenty years ago, he had shut his eyes and asked that his work as a schoolmaster be blessed with charity and achievement.
