A review by velocitygirl14
Solomon Gursky Was Here by Mordecai Richler

3.0

This was a re-read and I was interested by the fact that Richler mentions the Franklin Expedition as the start of the Gursky family entering the periphery of Canadian life and then becoming a major player.
Solomon Gursky is the elusive figure in all of this and despite being unpleasant, had charm unlike his other two brothers.
Sadly, this book is very dated and occasionally vulgar with no real reason to be. Again, a portrait of a Canada long gone.
