 globeandmail.com - Canada's best source for news continuously updated from The Globe and Mail
Richler, who began his TV career interviewing rock musicians on MuchMusic, and whose "literary rap," a remarkable interpretation of the inner-city idiom that he performed in his soft British accent during his stint as host of Imprint, was unforgettable.
Richler's producer and head of the channel's staff of four people, is on the same wavelength.
Richler will appear in part of the TV screen, while the rest will be filled with text, offering Web links, the price of the book under discussion and where it can be bought.

 Meat and Mordecai: A Montreal journey. By Gary Shteyngart
Richler had a seat at the very front of the bar (a plaque there will soon memorialize him).
But Richler certainly had a compassion and understanding for French Canadians; many of the most honest, exemplary characters in his fiction are Francophones.
The final resting place of Richler, worldly and iconoclastic to the very end, is found in the nondenominational part of a predominantly Protestant cemetery, surrounded by gravestones with last names like Kyriacopoulos and Aziz.

 The Reporter -- Letters
If Maria Francesca LoDico had written her article (March 25) with anywhere near the eloquence, wit and style that characterized Daniel Richler's letter (April 29), her use of the word "wop" and the phrase "wop-ing it up" probably would not have generated the debate that it did.
Further, if what Daniel Richler refers to as an "embarrassing performance" by Gil Bellows had not taken place, then LoDico would not even dreamed of using "wop" in her piece and in her poor attempt to mimic the irreverence she claims to admire in Mordecai Richler's style.
Daniel Richler is, however, mistaken in his assertion that the critiques and expressions of concern have to do with "tone-deafness to irony, to dry wit, to squibs," resistance to "telling it like it is" and exaggerated political correctness.

This original is what Richler refers to a the grey area and he seeks out interesting and eccentric people to fill the void when he delivers news and information on Big Life.
Richler proposed the delivery of information would be more stimulating if less emphasis was placed on giving the facts of a story that people already know and on attempting to be unbiased.
Although Richler is still working against a Saturday night time slot which he said is less than optimum for a young audience and occasions of "legal cowardice of the CBC," he said he intends to continue in his unique format.

 Eye Weekly - The inn thing - 02.26.04
BookTV editor-in-chief Daniel Richler and eye Weekly's Bert Archer, Edward Keenan and Joel McConvey haunted the city's hotel bars one increasingly boozy Monday night to look into their allure.
Richler thinks this tradition -- together with the tradition of "pig noses," as Richler insists booze cans are called somewhere in the world -- of creatively subverting authority is one of Toronto's great unsung virtues.
Richler sums up: "I'm not going to a bar like The Drake to hope that some coolness accrues to me. I'd be here looking for adventure and a chance encounter and to have a good time.

Host Daniel Richler said booze has been mythologized as a writing lubricant at least since the Roman poet Horace wrote: `No poem can please for long that is written by water drinkers.'
As host Daniel Richler pointed out, it would be disingenuous to pretend that Munro was not a kind of `elephant in the living room, a piranha in the goldfish bowl.'
Indeed, after Munro took the honour (`the 10,000 smackers,' as Richler bluntly put it), Pilling said that in all honesty she did not feel a glimmer of possible victory, nor even the right to it.

Unbenknownst to me, Richler's classic children's story, Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang, has now morphed into an animated cartoon series, with Jacob Two-Two as the main character, and the rest of the Richler familias as the backdrop to this show.
Another character I enjoyed was the oldest son, the hip and cynical Daniel, who like the real Daniel Richler (whom I've always had a crush on) sports a wild and wacky hair-cut.
