“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.”
Mordecai Richler was a Canadian writer. His best known works are *The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz* (1959) and *Barney's Version* (1997). He is also well known for the Jacob Two-Two fantasy series for children. In addition to his fiction, Richler wrote numerous essays about the Jewish community in Canada, and about Canadian and Quebec nationalism. Richler's *Oh Canada! Oh Quebec!* (1992), a collection of essays about nationalism and anti-Semitism, generated considerable controversy. *-- Wikipedia*
