In this beguiling collection of short stories and memoirs, first published in 1969, Mordecai Richler looks back on his childhood in Montreal, recapturing the lively panorama of St. Urbain Street: the refugees from Europe with their unexpected sophistication and snobbery; the catastrophic day when there was an article about St. Urbain Street in Time; Tansky's Cigar and Soda with its "beat-up brown phonebooth" used for "private calls"; and tips on sex from Duddy Kravitz.

Overflowing with humor, nostalgia, and wisdom, The Street is a brilliant introduction to Richler's lifelong love affair with St. Urbain Street and its inhabitants.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A very good, funny book By Amazon Customer A very personal way of telling about his youth on St Urbain Street, Montreal (Quebec), "The Street" is a thoughtfully crafted book by Mordecai Richler. It alternates chapters that sound like memories (but might be fictitious) with others that sound like short stories (but might be based on actual characters and events). The whole picture is that of the Jewish neighborhood in which a young boy, then a young man grows up, with descriptions of family life and relationships around the time of the Second World War and just after that. A very good book, witty, funny, and often profound. This is my first Richler read, and it has given me much desire to read more by him.One of the stories, "The summer my grandmother was supposed to die", was made into a fine, much award-nominated animated film called "The Street", by Caroline Leaf and can be seen on the National Film Board website ([...]).
