  • "Black comedy about a resourceful Eskimo poet who was 'discovered' by the Twentyman Fur Company."@en
  • "Transplanted to Toronto from his native Baffin Island, Atuk the poet is an unlikely overnight success. Eagerly adapting to a society steeped in pretension, bigotry, and greed, Atuk soon abandons the literary life in favour of more lucrative ' and hazardous ' schemes. Richler's hilarious and devastating satire lampoons the self-deceptions of "the Canadian identity" and derides the hypocrisy of a nation that seeks cultural independence by slavishly pursuing the American dream. From the Paperback edition."@en
