The attention this star-studded and heavily promoted mini-series will receive will renew interest in the book among Richler fans and introduce many new readers to this modern classic, now available in this attractive tie-in edition. St. Urbain’s Horseman is a complex, moving, and wonderfully comic evocation of a generation consumed with guilt – guilt at not joining every battle, at not healing every wound. Thirty-seven-year-old Jake Hersh is a film director of modest success, a faithful husband, and a man in disgrace. His alter ego is his cousin Joey, a legend in their childhood neighbourhood in Montreal. Nazi-hunter, adventurer, and hero of the Spanish Civil War, Joey is the avenging horseman of Jake’s impotent dreams. When Jake becomes embroiled in a scandalous trial in London, England, he puts his own unadventurous life on trial as well, finding it desperately wanting as he steadfastly longs for the Horseman’s glorious return. Irreverent, deeply felt, as scathing in its critique of social mores as it is uproariously funny, St. Urbain’s Horseman confirms Mordecai Richler’s reputation as a pre-eminent observer of the hypocrisies and absurdities of modern life. 1576173 1971 St. Urbain's Horseman total:80|5:11|4:41|3:24|2:3|1:1| 80 298 130 6 3 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 08 09:41:01 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 09:41:25 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Wed Apr 01 17:31:32 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 17:32:53 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 21 23:42:14 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 23:42:46 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1974 Wed Oct 14 12:46:57 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 12:48:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Apr 04 11:07:13 -0700 2007 Wed Apr 04 11:11:00 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jul 03 02:57:31 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 02:59:23 -0700 2008 I find myself in a similar place, though, as when I read "Native Son:" I really just want to bleach something.
