Title
A Study of the Artist-Heroes of Mordecai Richler : Problems of Distance and Sympathy in his Realistic Novels
Abstract
The author identifies problems of narrative distance and sympathy in the realistic novels which Montreal author Mordecai Richler (1931-2001) wrote about artist-figures. The author contends that a lack of distance creates a problem for Richler: he is so close to his protagonists and shares so many of their assumptions that he often fails to make a convincing case for them in terms that scrutinize their vision with any kind of rigor.
