Jacob Richler

Jacob Richler is a Canadian newspaper and magazine journalist, and the son of novelist Mordecai Richler. He was the inspiration for his father's "Jacob Two-Two" trilogy of children's books [ [http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-68-753-4599/arts_entertainment/mordecai_richler/clip6 "Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang": Mordecai Richler Was Here"] , CBC News, December 16, 1976.] .

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 hasn't contributed an article to the newspaper since early 2007. Richler has also been a columnist and feature writer for "Saturday Night", "Financial Post Magazine" and "Toronto Life", as well as a contributor to "GQ", "Canadian Living", "Fashion", "Flare" and "enRoute". He also collaborated with chef Susur Lee on the book "Susur: A Culinary Life" [ [http://www.tenspeed.com/store/index.php?main_page=pubs_product_book_jph1_info&products_id=2067 "Susur: A Culinary Life"] at Ten Speed Press.] .

He was married to "Globe and Mail" journalist Leanne Delap, from whom he divorced in 2005 [ [http://www.theglobeandmail.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20051216/DELAPCOL16/TPRealestate/ "Packing up a place full of memories"] , "The Globe and Mail", December 16, 2005.] .
