Women in Mordecai Richler’s Novels: Is There a Problem?
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the construction of women characters in Montreal novelist Mordecai Richler's (1931-2001) corpus to determine whether there are textual grounds for reading his novels as a body of work threaded with sexist overtones. Despite a temporizing tendency in Richler's development as a novelist in relation to several social issues, including gender roles, the author concludes that the idealized patterns of male-female relations are always traditional, based on conventional notions of beauty, femininity, and women's subordination.
