He has more creative confidence than any living writer" Financial Times "Whatever region his writing inhabits, it is blazing with life and actuality" -- Ted Hughes New York Review of Books "Isaac Bashevis Singer, in his short and humorous tales drawn from an old tradition, celebrates the dignity, mystery and unexpected joy of living with more art and fervor than any other writer... one of the very best storytellers" Newsweek

FROM THE PUBLISHER - The eighth collection of short stories from this Nobel Laureate. In this collection of short stories Singer writes of the love behaviour of the old and middle-aged - that terrain of renewed innocence and bashful bluster. Most of his characters are from Poland, resettled in Israel or America, accommodating the scars of their pasts. They have learned that the limitless threshold of human endurance is almost offensive, so offensive that it becomes ridiculous. They laugh because they have to, with a laughter that is the alternative to a coiled scream. It is the humour of survival that Singer conjures with in these stories.' - Bernice Rubens, New Statesman. inventory #6646 Very Good in Tape-Repaired Dustjacket. Seller Inventory # z6646
