It was first published in 1957 by André Deutsch. Plot and settingThe novel is set in London in the 1950s. A group of dissident writers and filmmakers from Canada and the United States settle in England to escape the McCarthy era witch hunt. Problems ensue after Norman Price, a former academic turned pulp writer, befriends a mysterious German refugee and is ostracized by the others. Their rigid idealism devolves into tyranny and Norman decides that "all alliances are discredited." He faces a personal dilemma where his choice of enemies is not clear. ThemeRichler uses biting wit, pointed irony and elements of surrealism to construct a parable reflecting the moral doubt and decay of modern society. {{DEFAULTSORT:Choice of Enemies}}{{1950s-novel-stub}}{{Canada-novel-stub}} 5 : New Canadian Library|1957 novels|Novels by Mordecai Richler|Novels set in London|Novels about writers |
