Finding tradition in league with self-delusion, he attempts to shatter  the ghetto’s illusory walls by entering the foreign territory of the \u003ci\u003egoyim\u003c\/i\u003e. But here,  freedom and self-determination continue to elude him. Eventually, Noah comes to recognize  “justice and safety and a kind of felicity” in a world he cannot—entirely—leave  behind. Richler’s superb account of Noah’s struggle to scale the walls of the ghetto  overflows with rich comic satire. \u003ci\u003eSon of a Smaller Hero\u003c\/i\u003e is a compassionate, penetrating  account of the nature of belonging, told with the savage realism for which Mordecai  Richler’s fiction is celebrated.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214331441407,"sku":"9780771073373","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780771073373_s600x595.jpg?v=1782319357","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780771073373","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
