Alone in a world where nobody shares his values but everyone wants the same things, Mortimer must navigate the currents of these changing times. Richler's eccentric cast of characters include the gorgeous Polly, who conducts her life as though it were a movie, complete with censor-type cuts at all the climactic moments; Rachel Coleman, slinky Black Panther of the boudoir; Star Maker, the narcissistic Hollywood tycoon who has discovered the secret of eternal life; and a precocious group of school children with a taste for the teachings of the Marquis de Sade. <i>Cocksure</i> is a savagely funny satire on television, movies, and the entertainment industry. This is Mordecai Richler at his most caustic and wicked best. 1177879 1968 Cocksure total:39|5:3|4:12|3:17|2:4|1:3| 39 125 67 2 1 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Thu Jan 10 02:21:29 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 01:20:36 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 04 14:44:23 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 04 14:44:43 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 05:41:56 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 05:41:56 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 24 20:12:38 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 20:12:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 22 10:09:02 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 10:09:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 07:19:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 07:19:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 16 09:17:11 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 09:17:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 05:18:54 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 05:18:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 14 10:27:45 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 10:27:45 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Aug 14 09:52:02 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 09:52:02 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 07:03:02 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 07:03:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 12 21:55:59 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 21:55:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 24 12:31:21 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 12:31:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 05:32:18 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 05:32:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 08 11:14:37 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 11:14:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jun 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 06:41:24 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 11:43:08 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri May 29 16:55:03 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 16:55:03 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue May 26 16:23:10 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 16:23:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 20 17:05:57 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 17:05:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 03 06:44:58 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 06:44:58 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=907802
