In the swinging culture of sixties' London, Canadian Mortimer Griffin is a beleaguered editor adrift in a sea of hypocrisy and deceit. Alone in a world where nobody shares his values but everyone wants the same things, Mortimer must navigate the currents of these changing times. Richler's eccentric cast of characters include the gorgeous Polly, who conducts her life as though it were a movie, complete with censor-type cuts at all the climactic moments; Rachel Coleman, slinky Black Panther of the boudoir; Star Maker, the narcissistic Hollywood tycoon who has discovered the secret of eternal life; and a precocious group of school children with a taste for the teachings of the Marquis de Sade. "Cocksure" is a savagely funny satire on television, movies, and the entertainment industry.""This is Mordecai Richler at his most caustic and wicked best. "From the Hardcover edition."… (més)

A fun book, written about London, as well as anywhere, in the end times of the 1960's. Mordecai apparently had a number of sexual encounters, and parodies several of them bravely. As good a book of its kind, as was written at the time, and more fun than "nothing Black But the Cadillac!" ( )

A bravura take on the sexual revolution in the swinging 60s in swinging London - Richler can still outrage and entertain at the same time - skewering sexual liberation, trendy education, literary Jews, literary narrative and Canadian mores. It's a book that almost literally disappears into its own unreality...

what a strange person!! (@2:30 mark)

which is why i like richler, of course -- he's crusty, weird and oh so smart!

this book is quite a statement on many things and while written in 1968...a lot of the satire could be applied to today's society too. we are a sad lot, aren't we?? ( )

כמו הרבה ספרים, באתי בגלל שהבטיח סקס, נשארתי כי היה מצחיק ומהנה ( )

I discovered delight in the grotesque and the transgressive in this book. I read this book 40 years ago at age 17. Many things stick in my mind: the movie star hung on a hook in the closet, the mogul who undergoes a sex change operation in order to take the advice of a disgruntled aide and go f**k himself, the grade-school pageant in which the kids perform scenes from De Sade's Justine, and , especially, the beautiful young ingenue who can only go as far sexually as the behavior she has witnessed in the movies. The poor protagonist, suffering from impotency, writhes in anxiety as he waits for the day when she sees her first porno. ( )
