Rent Family Matters

Synopsis

Mordecai Richler’s dazzling tale of a clever young rogue who makes good or at least makes money established him as one of the great comic writers. Determined to escape Montreal’s Jewish ghetto, young Duddy takes to heart his grandfather’s maxim that "a man without land is nobody." In his relentless pursuit of property and a big-time repu-tation, he swindles, forges, and even tries making movies. Amoral, scheming, ruthless, and yet somehow endearing, Duddy Kravitz is one of the most magnetic anti-heroes of all time a man who learns the hard way that dreams are not exactly what they seem, even when they come true. Abridged by Richler himself and featuring music and sound effects, this classic recording captures the frenetic pace and sharp wit of the 1959 masterpiece.
