Seems a tribute of sorts to Montreal's Mordecai Richler is in the works or has been done,I know we spoke about old Mordecai quite a while back (whn he died I think it was ??) but in today's Gazette there's a piece about him :So for those who might be interested,here's the link:
A hefty tribute to a literary star
This volume of selected writings by Mordecai Richler was a labour of love for its publisher and editor. It includes fiction and essays from various periods

A Montreal and Quebec "Icon" - he was a dedicated Canadian as well !!! Also a connisseur of fine Johnny Walker type beverages..... A.Montreal character for sure..... R.I.P. Duddy
I get a real kick out of the animated series on YTV, Jacob Two-Two. It is classic Mordecai. The father character is no doubt autobiographical. Check it out at: http://www.nelvana.com/jacob_two_two/

Hi MaggieMck,...I had never heard of this animated series until you told us about it,during our last Mordecai topic,..(can't Remember when that was,either when he died,or when there wasa special on TV about him??) In anycase it looks like a funny little story,...do kids like this ? Thanks for the link......
