Description: "Both Richler and Vassanji are award-winning novelists who regarded themselves as outsiders in their respective societies--one a Jew in Quebec, the other an Indian in Tanzania who emigrated to Canada. Their experiences were vastly different, but their perspective as outsiders allows each a unique viewpoint. With narrative flair and surprising insights, Vassanji explores the life and artistic quest of the prolific Montreal satirist who died in 2001"--Publisher's website.
