Uncle Melech and Cousin Joey : The Search for the Absent Hero in A.M. Klein’s The Second Scroll and Mordecai Richler’s St. Urbain’s Horseman
Abstract
The author points out that despite Montreal novelist Mordecai Richler’s (1931-2001) repeated and vigorous denials that he had in any way been influenced by A.M. Klein, literary scholars and critics now generally agree that Klein’s The Second Scroll (1951) serves as an important literary source of Richler’s St. Urbain’s Horseman (1971).
