A Canadian writer, best known for his stories of
Montreal-born Jewish characters, often
contrary, argumentative, and morally ambiguous. Although he's primarily remembered as one of Canada's literary bright lights, turning out books like
Solomon Gursky Was Here and
The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz, he also wrote children's books like the
Jacob Two-Two stories, essays and journalism giving his often crabby views on everything from Israel to Quebec, and even a book about pool. Several of his books have been turned into films, most recently
Barney's Version.
