Seventeen-year-old Duddy Kravitz wants out of the Montreal Jewish ghetto in which he was raised and he has taken seriously his grandfather's motto, "a man without land is a nobody." On the way to getting his land he is ruthless and treats those who love him badly.

Hecht is an excellent narrator NARRATOR. A pleader who draws narrs serviens narrator, a sergeant at law. Fleta, 1. 2, c. 37. Obsolete.  with a facility for voicing accents (Jewish, Yiddish, French, Canadian) and gender differences. I would like to have heard a younger-sounding voice for Duddy who, after all, is only a teenager. In this performance he sounds so adult the listener has to keep being reminded that this is a young person. Sound effects--music, street noises, etc.--are a nice addition. The abridgment is by the author, so the story flows nicely without obvious gaps. Sue Rosenzweig, Consultant, Lincoln, RI
