Description
Duddy Kravitz's story is one of living life on his own terms. A young man from a Jewish immigrant family in Montreal, Duddy navigates a series of schemes and hustles to "be somebody". With a combative spirit and a talent for getting into trouble, he learns valuable lessons about love, money, and politics. As Mordecai Richler's biting commentary on the human condition unfolds, Duddy's outrageous adventures become a hilarious roller-coaster ride through the ups and downs of life. This novel is a masterful exploration of the complexities of living, full of laughter and insight. Through Duddy's story, Richler offers a searing critique of society, but also a profound understanding of what it means to be human.
