Original Toronto Star caption: The author: Joshua Then And Now is Mordecai Richler's first novel since St. Urbain's Horseman, 1971, and perhaps his best, says the Star's Ken Adachi. He was in town this week promoting it. It was a difficult novel to write, says Richler. I rewrote, revised and then ended up by scrapping 30,000 words. But then each book seems to get progressivly more difficult to write.
