The novel chronicles the misadventures of its eponymous protagonist, a bumbling yet endearing young man navigating the absurdities of modern life, relationships, and self-identity. Lurie's prose is fast-paced and laced with dry humour, drawing comparisons to the comedic traditions of both American Jewish fiction and European farce. First published in 1966, it stands as one of Lurie's earliest and most celebrated works, establishing him as a singular and irreverent voice in Australian literature. Readers who appreciate character-driven comedies of manners and the chaos of everyday urban existence will find Rappaport both brilliantly entertaining and quietly profound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893812900059,"sku":"2026200009214-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/88e7e3a0-3229-4a86-8db5-51d7c94e49c2.png?v=1782040656","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009214-secondhand-rappaport","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
