Mordecai Richler dead at 70. Noted Canadian man of letters, political commentator, frequent imbiber and author of "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz," "Solomon Gursky Was Here," "Oh, Canada! Oh, Quebec!," and "Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang." He was undergoing cancer treatment.
I too have enjoyed his writing--esp. as an American Jews reading about Jewish Canadian families...his novels turned into films also were enjoyable. Wonder sense of humor in his writing. Very human and down to earth books.

My kids are big fans of Jacob Two-Two, as am I. How very sad.

I'd like to point MeFi'ers to George Carlin's comments about his thoughts on what happens when celebrities die. Funny stuff.
