In Barney’s Version (1997), Mordecai Richler crafts an unreliable memoir narrated by Barney Panofsky, an aging TV producer whose recollections—edited by his son—blur fact and self-defense. Barney recounts his failed marriages, his love for Miriam, and the mysterious disappearance of his best friend Boogie, for which he was tried but acquitted of murder. Haunted by jealousy, regret, and fading memory, Barney faces Alzheimer’s as his son discovers a possible clue to Boogie’s fate, leaving the truth suspended between memory, myth, and ambiguity.
