Who is your Marvin Mudrick? Professor Mudrick (UC Santa Cruz) was my dad’s half-brother and his and my dad’s story is kind of interesting.

Yes, the same Marvin Mudrick I think, the English professor who wrote a book about Jane Austen. I was just re-reading him and that's why I had the strange dream.

Ok. My dad, Morton Murdock, his father, David Mudrick, ran from the wife and kid in, oh, 1934 or so. David reverted to Mudrick and had a son, Marvin. I saw his pic on a book jacket in the early ‘80’s,?contacted him, and asked if my dad could call him. ...

My dad had no interest in the runaway David and waited to call Marvin, who certainly had some stories about the old days, about my dad’s dad, David. Before my dad called him, Marvin, my uncle, died.

Quite a story. As you might know, Marvin Mudrick talked a bit about his youth in a book called Mudrick Transcribed.

It's the chapter titled "Ikey Ikey Whatll Ya Learn in School Today?" It's autobiographical reflections on growing up.

Thanks, I’ll try and find. One last note. If you don’t know it, we Jews LOVE to needle each other. My dad, Murdock, HATED even the sound of the name Mudrick. Uncle Stanley, Dad’s close & older cousin (they grew up in Philly as neighbors),would, all his life, call my dad MUDRICK.

I found another autobiographical essay by Marvin Mudrick (from an obscure Australian journal). Send me your email address and I will send it to you!
