Interpretation In Favor Of Books The Collected Stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer

The forty-seven stories in this collection, selected by Singer himself out of nearly one hundred and fifty, range from the publication of his now-classic first collection, Gimpel the Fool, in 1957, until 1981. They include supernatural tales, slices of life from Warsaw and the shtetls of Eastern Europe, and stories of the Jews displaced from that world to the New World, from the East Side of New York to California and Miami.

Write-Up Containing Books The Collected Stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer

In my top 10 story collections of all time. What a master. I savored every single last one.

If Sholem Aleichem is the grand master of Jewish folk tales depicting life of the common people then Isaac Bashevis Singer is the anti-Sholem Aleichem, representing all the misfits and lost souls of the Jewish ghetto. No matter what era 18th Century, Pre-Holocaust or Post-Holocaust, or community - Poland, Brooklyn, anywhere, his stories all boil down to Jews that are either rejected by their communities or even by themselves. Add a gentle serving of ancient Jewish mysticism, mostly dybbuks and

There is nothing new in the praiseworthy department that I can say about Singer's writing. He was a treasure, and my only regret is that I can't read the originals in Yiddish.However, yesterday I saw a 2015 documentary, The Muses of Isaac Bashevis Singer, about the "army" of young women he used as translators and who he referred to as his "harem." Apparently, in spite of being described by many of the younger by decades "harem" as being "very ugly", "a pixie with white fringe", "old", and "did

The Yiddish Hawthorne...I haven't read nearly all of these stories...but everyone is a beautiful nightmare or dream from another world or time.

If you believe in God, then He exists.This sentiment best surmises the questions and crises of faith presented in the Nobel winning body of work from Isaac Bashevis Singer. The Polish born author came to the United States on the brink of WWII and left an honorable mark on Jewish literature, winning two National Book Awards, one for his memoirs and one for A Crown of Feathers (which he shared with Thomas Pynchon for Gravity's Rainbow), as well as the Nobel in 1978. While having written With a

An impressive collection comprising stories split between featuring rural Jewish communities in pre-WWII Poland and post-WWII Jewish immigrants in New York City, involving meditations on Jewishness, sin, and the devil. In total IBS offers a rather gloomy, fatalistic vision of the world which I enjoy- but my main caveat is that Singer is fairly misogynist, especially his earlier stories which conflate sin and sex and women in that classically conservative, traditional way. This improves later on,
