    Extractions: (East European Prose in Translation, Fall 2002, Swarthmore College Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991) was one of the most prolific, controversial, and best-loved chroniclers of Jewish experience in Eastern Europe, especially Poland, where he was born. His pen name, Bashevis, is taken from his mother's Hebrew name (Bathsheba). He moved to the US (New York, of course) in 1935 and became a citizen in 1943, but continued until the end of his life to write in Yiddish, and all his work was translated into English, often by translators who were themselves prominent writers. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978, and his works are available in a staggering variety of editions, sound recordings, and filmic treatments (for example, Barbra Streisand's Yentl was based on his story "Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy" Singer evidently did not like it). In My Father's Court is the first part of Singer's autobiography, combining stories about his family into a narrative of gradual development. The pieces were originally published in the Yiddish-language newspaper Forwards , and here are translated by Channah Kleinerman-Goldstein, Elaine Gottlieb, and the author's nephew, Joseph Singer. Unlike his stories proper, these are open-ended, suggesting not only that another story will follow (as if whetting the reader's appetite, if not leaving her or him cliff-hanging, which recalls the original publication of the stories in a newspaper, always a good place for serialization), but also that in telling the story of a life (one's own, one's family's) one makes constant choices about what to tell next, which next piece of the almost endless fabric of recollection to choose to stitch to the previous story as a body of narrative is gradually assembled. How different this is from Singer's beautifully crafted short stories proper.

    Extractions: I saac Bashevis Singer was one of the great storytellers of the twentieth century. His writing is a unique blend of religious morality and social awareness combined with an investigation of personal desires. Though his work often took the form of parables or tales based on a nineteenth century tradition, he was deeply concerned with the events of his time and the future of his people and their culture. World War II and the near destruction of the Yiddish-speaking peoples, Yiddish seemed a dead language. Though Singer had moved to the United States, he believed in the power of his native language and knew that there was still a large audience that longed for new work, work that would address the lives and issues of their his. In 1950 Singer produced his first major work, THE FAMILY MOSKAT—the story of a twentieth century Polish Jewish family before the war. He followed this novel with a series of well-received short stories, including his most famous, "Gimpel, The Fool."

    Extractions: The late Isaac Bashevis Singer used to write in the mornings. Afternoons, he strolled down Upper Broadway. He stopped along the avenue to eat a meatless meal and to feed the birds. He carried bank books and thousands of dollars in his pockets too, in case he needed to flee New York in a hurry. He believed that "It" could happen again. Born into a line of great rabbis said to be so holy they performed miracles, the young man from the shtetl of Radzymin, Poland, rebelled against Jewish law. He worshipped his older brother, secular Yiddish writer Israel Joshua Singer, and followed his path, first to the writer's club in Warsaw, then finally to America. He took his mother's Hebrew name, Bathsheba, and made it his pen name in Yiddish, Bashevis. Fleeing Hitler, Singer arrived in America in 1935 penniless and knowing only one English phrase. Broke, despondent after the unexpected death of his brother here and the loss of his world in the Holocaust in Europe, he wrote nothing for seven years. But he went on to become one of the most prolific literary masters of the modern age. His mission: to make the world of the Jews immortal.

    Extractions: The Family Moskat The Manor (1967), and The Estate (1969). These extensive epic works have been compared with Thomas Mann 's novel, Buddenbrooks. Like Mann, Singer describes how old families are broken up by the new age and its demands, from the middle of the 19th century up to the Second World War, and how they are split, financially, socially and humanly. But Singer's chronicles are greater in scope than Mann's novel and more richly orchestrated in their characterization. The author's apparently inexhaustible psychological fantasy has created a microcosm, or rather, a well-populated microchaos, out of independent and graphically convincing figures. They bring to mind another writer whom Singer read when young - Leo Tolstoy.

    Extractions: Isaac Bashevis Singer, 1980 Yiddish YITSKHEK BASHYEVIS ZINGER (b. July 14?, 1904, Radzymin, Pol., Russian Empired. July 24, 1991, Surfside, Fla., U.S.), Polish-born American writer of novels, short stories, and essays in Yiddish. He was the recipient in 1978 of the Nobel Prize for Literature . His fiction, depicting Jewish life in Poland and the United States, is remarkable for its rich blending of irony, wit, and wisdom, flavoured distinctively with the occult and the grotesque. Singer's birth date is uncertain and has been variously reported as July 14, November 21, and October 26. Coming from a family of Hasidic rabbis, Singer received a traditional Jewish education at the Warsaw Rabbinical Seminary. However, like his older brother, the novelist I.J. Singer, he preferred being a writer to being a rabbi. His first novel, Der Sotn in Gorey Satan in Goray ), was published in installments in Poland shortly before he immigrated to the United States in 1935. Settling in New York City, as his brother had done a year earlier, he initially worked for the Yiddish newspaper Jewish Daily Forward

    Extractions: Isaac Bashevis Singer I. B. Singer was an outstanding writer of Yiddish stories. His best-selling novels include "The Family Moscat", "Satan in Goray", "The Magician of Lublin", "Gimpel the Fool", "The Spinoza of Market Street", and "The Slave". He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978. He was a staunch vegetarian for his last 35 years, primarily because of compassion for animals. He was fond of saying that he was a vegetarian for health reasons - the health of the chicken. He frequently included vegetarian themes in his stories. In his short story, "The Slaughterer", he described the anguish that an appointed slaughterer had trying to reconcile his compassion for animals with his job of slaughtering animals. He felt that the eating of meat was a denial of all ideals and all religions: "How can we speak of right and justice if we take an innocent creature and shed its blood". - Richard Schwartz Although Berry interviewed many distinguished vegetarians, he particularly remembers his conversations with the Nobel prize winning writer Isaac Bashevis Singer: "Vegetarian themes and motifs have sounded through even his earliest work." Asked whether he turned vegetarian for his health, Singer replied, "I didn't do it for my health but for the health of the animals."

    Extractions: Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991) Twenty-nine year old Isaac Bashevis Singer, sensing the rapidly approaching catastrophe in Europe, fled Poland and came to America in 1935. His sole claim to fame at the time was a single Yiddish book published in Poland: "Satan in Goray." He could speak only three words of English: "Take a chair." Singer feared that his lot "was to be one of those writers who write one book and become silent forever." For the next ten years Singer barely eked out a living as a critic for the leading Yiddish newspaper, The Forward. In this period, his total income from serious literary efforts amounted to a minuscule $90 honorarium received when "Satan in Goray" was published in the United States in Yiddish in 1943 ... the same year that Singer became an American citizen. Finally in 1945, Singer began writing "The Family Moskat," which was serialized each week in The Forward. He continued writing for them, saying "I haven't missed a week, except that I get four week's vacation." Translated into English. Singer's delightful stories have appeared in Commentary, The New Yorker, and even Playboy magazine. His editor at Doubleday wrote that "Isaac Bashevis Singer is a literary figure of imposing stature. (His) prolific output of short stories, children's books, plays, scholarly works and novels are received and embraced by an enormous and devoted audience." In an interview, Rebecca West indicated "I regard Isaac Bashevis Singer as the greatest writer of today."
