The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz

No Montreal Street for Mordecai Richler
He won a slew of awards, had his books translated into multiple languages, and captured the soul of Jewish Montreal in novels like “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz” and “Barney’s Version” — both adapted into big-budget Hollywood productions.
