Mordecai Richler: A Life in Ten Novels

Shoveling Trouble in the Stables of the Lord
'He has no skin, only blood.He wants to bleed for everybody."
If the smell of the stable repels you;
If you don't like trouble;
If conflicted attitudes toward God and the Bible bother you;
Stay away from this book.
If you prefer writers who keep their skin on;
If you're not into vengeance, parody, or satire;
If you can't laugh uproariously at others and yourself;
You're probably not reading Richler.
But if Richler is your kind of writer and you want to know more about why and how he writes;
If you're curious about the way his life penetrates his fiction;
Welcome aboard!
