Críticas:

"Duddy Kravitz sits alone in its urbanity, energy, relevance, direction and raw talent." -"Toronto Star" "It burgeons with its special talent and vulgar vitality." -"Chicago Tribune" "Richler [is] one of North America's most powerful novelists." -"Washington Times" "Richler has been praised highly for his clear-eyed vision and his realistic style. This novel will confirm that estimate... the total effect is brash and blatant as a sports car rally - and as suggestive of power." -"New York Times Book Review" "There can be no doubt of [Richler's] prodigal talent." -"Times Literary Supplement" "From the Trade Paperback edition." "Chicago Tribune"A rasping humor pervades the book....It burgeons with its special talent and a vulgar vitality.

Reseña del editor:

From Mordecai Richler, one of the greatest satirists, comes one of literature's most delightful characters, Duddy Kravitz -- in a novel that belongs in the pantheon of seminal twentieth century books.

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, money, and politics, The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz becomes a lesson for us all...in laughter and in life.
