Beskrivning

Isaac Bashevis SInger brought the vibrant milieu of pre-Holocaust Polish Jewry to the English-speaking world through his subtle psychological insight, deep sympathy for the eccentricities of Jewish folk custom and unerring feel for the heroism of everyday life. His novels, including ""The Family Moskat and Enemies: A Love Story"" and his short stories such as ""Yentl"" and ""Gimpel the Fool"" prove him to be a consummate storyteller and one of the greatest Yiddish writers of the 20th century.

"Hadda [gives] us unique, exciting insights into Singer's creative process." - Leonard Nimoy; "The iridescent charm of Isaac Bashevis Singer is such as to give the slip to the very letters of the alphabet, but Janet Hadda has out-tricked the Yiddish trickster in this brief but wonderfully alive-and-kicking biography. The story she tells will entertain, appall, and fascinate." - Jack Miles, MacArthur Fellow and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of God: A Biography
