Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Set in the immigrant community of Winnipegâs North End, Under the Ribs of Death follows the progress of young Sandor Hunyadi as he struggles to cast off his Hungarian background and become a âreal Canadian.â Embittered by poverty and social humiliation, Sandor rejects his fatherâs impractical idealism and devotes himself single-mindedly to becoming a successful businessman. Equipped with a new name and a hardened heart, he is close to realizing his ambition when fortuneâs wheel takes an unexpected â and possibly redemptive â turn.
Combining social realism and moral parable, Under the Ribs of Death is John Marlynâs ironic portrayal of the immigrant experience in the years leading up to the Great Depression. As a commentary on the problems of cultural assimilation, this novel is as relevant today as it was when first published in 1957.
