Many More Mordecais

| Abstract |
Where the first translations of Mordecai Richler's novels were by gaffe-prone Europeans unfamiliar with Montreal, the author stresses that French Quebec translations preserve the local character that is a hallmark of Richler’s fiction. The author identifies several familiar Richlers, including the hometown chronicler, the diasporic comic romancer in a North American field of self-invention, and the working-class satirist of defunct empire. But, he also observes, Richler satirizes an aggressively expansive province subject to many of the same pretensions, follies, and false pieties as the metropole.
