The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz

The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz 

by Mordecai Richler

"I'm gonna get some land one of these days. A man without land is nothing."

“You’re two people,” he tells Duddy. “The scheming little bastard I saw so easily and the fine, intelligent boy underneath that your grandfather, bless him, saw. But you’re coming of age soon and you’ll have to choose. A boy can be two, three, four potential people, but a man is only one. He murders the others.”
