Maurice Yacowar challenges genre and form in Roy & Me,a cross between memoir and fiction, truth and distortion. It is theexploration of Yacowars relationship with Roy Farran soldier, politician, author, mentor and his conflict withFarrans anti-Semitic past. Best known for his service with the Special Air Service during WorldWar II, Roy Farran served as a politician in the Legislative Assemblyof Alberta for Premier Peter Lougheed. During his time as a soldier,Farran allegedly kidnapped and murdered a sixteen-year-old member ofthe Lehi group.
