Atuk is an Eskimo living in 1950s Toronto. As he mingles with Torontonians and observes their foibles, he seems to be an innocent individual in the Big City. But as The Incomparable Atuk shows, Atuk is not without his own pretensions and corruption. Mordecai Richler's novel is a rich and comic romp full of colourful characters and his trademark wry humour. A satirical spoof on Canadian cultural scenes, it is a thoroughly entertaining read. Richler is also the author of The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Joshua Then and Now. | The Incomparable Atuk by Mordecai Richler, Mass Market Paperback | Indigo Chapters
