		The Acrobats and his next book, Son Of A Smaller Hero (1955), were rites of passage, apprentice novels about the tribulations involved in being an expatriate writer; but The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz was anything but an apprentice novel.
		The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz was his first novel in which Richler's hero is not a projection of the writer himself: it draws on his experience, but Kravitz is a fully-realised character in his own right.
		Richler went from high school to the Sir George Williams College, was bitten by the literature bug, and left at the age of 19 without taking a degree to live in Paris, which, as aspiring north Americans artists knew at that time, was the fount of all creative wisdom.
