Jacob Richler [SEP] father
Jacob Richler
Jacob Richler is a Canadian newspaper and magazine journalist, and the son of novelist Mordecai Richler and Florence Isabel (Wood). He was the inspiration for his father's "Jacob Two-Two" trilogy of children's books.
Richler was a long-time restaurant reviewer for the "National Post", known for his biting, highly critical reviewing style, though he is no longer listed under that newspaper's columnists directory and has not contributed an article to the newspaper since early 2007. Richler has
twice because people do not hear him the first time. The character is said to have been inspired by Jacob Richler, the author's youngest son. Every character in Jacob's family has the same name as their counterpart in the real Richler family. However, despite the names, Richler stated that the characters were not based on his family.
In September 2009 Tundra Books, the publisher of the Jacob Two-Two series, released a new fourth book titled "Jacob Two-Two on the High Seas".
