A complete picture of Isaac Bashevis Singer's literary heritage.
This volume brings together a rich collection of Isaac Bashevis Singer's early work, including 27 short stories, 7 sketches of early fiction, as well as critical essays, childhood memoirs, and interviews.
Singer's early literary career in Warsaw (1925-1935) was crucial in laying the foundations for his later achievements in Jewish and world literature as a storyteller of Polish Jewry. During this period, he worked as a journalist, writer, and translator in the leading Yiddish cultural center of Eastern Europe. However, much of this work has remained unavailable in English translation.
This volume makes a significant portion of Singer's early fiction and non-fiction accessible in English for the first time, opening it up to scholars, students, and general readers alike.
