«This Year in Jerusalem» is the memoir and travel book by Mordecai Richler, published by Vintage Canada in paperback (304 pages, in English).
Richler reconstructs his youth in Montreal, his joining of the Zionist youth movements of the 1940s and the awakening of his political consciousness, then links those memories with a trip to Israel marked by memory, history and the Arab-Israeli conflict, with his characteristic irony.
The book originally appeared in 1994; the Canadian edition from Vintage Canada was published in 1995.
