Canadian Literature A Brief Chat with Mordecai Richler A Brief Chat with Mordecai Richler Articles in this Topic Discussions in this Topic Feb 11, 2000 Mordecai Richler is a man of few words when he is speaking, that is. He is one of those artists who would prefer his work to speak for itself. At least, that was the impression I got when I spoke to him in late 1998. Barney's Version , his first novel in ten years, had just been released in paperback and Belling the Cat , a collection of journalistic essays had just been published by Knopf/Random House. On the phone from his hotel room in Toronto, Richler was curt and abrupt but still had many intriguing things to say about writing. Kirman: Barney's Version is your tenth novel. How has your process of writing changed between the time you wrote your first novel and now? Richler: The process hasn't changed, but the writer has developed, I hope. I still get up every morning and go to work.

French-Canadians consumed by self-pity; the descendants of Scots who fled the Duke of Cumberland; Irish, the famine; and Jews, the Black Hundreds. Then there are the peasants from Ukraine, Poland, Italy and Greece, convenient to grow wheat and dig out the ore and swing the hammers and run the restaurants, but otherwise to be kept in their place. Most of us are huddled tight to the border, looking into the candy store window, scared of the Americans on one side and of the bush on the other." "My enduring feeling about Ren© L©vesque is that if he had chosen to hang me, even as he tightened the rope round my neck, he would have complained about how humiliating it was for him to spring the trapdoor. And then, once I was swinging in the wind, he would blame my ghost for having obliged him to murder, thereby imposing a guilt trip on a sweet, self-effacing, downtrodden Francophone." "So far as one can generalize, the most graciouis, cultivated, and innovative people in this country are French Canadians. Certainly they have given us the most exciting politicians of our time: Trudeau, L©vesque. Without them, Canada would be an exceedingly boring and greatly diminished place."
