Thirty-seven-year-old Jake Hersh is a film director of modest success  a faithful husband  and a man in disgrace. His alter ego is his cousin Joey  a legend in their childhood neighbourhood in Montreal. Nazi-hunter  adventurer  and hero of the Spanish Civil War  Joey is the avenging horseman of Jake s impotent dreams. When Jake becomes embroiled in a scandalous trial in London  England  he puts his own unadventurous life on trial as well  finding it desperately wanting as he steadfastly longs for the Horseman s glorious return. Irreverent  deeply felt  as scathing in its critique of social mores as it is uproariously funny  St. Urbain s Horseman confirms Mordecai Richler s reputation as a pre-eminent observer of the hypocrisies and absurdities of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45277069148213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0394444736","price":59.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780394444734.jpg?v=1780571244","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/st-urbains-horseman-9780394444734","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
