Isaac Bashevis Singer Quotations Children don't read to find their identity. They don't read to free themselves of guilt, to quench the thirst for rebellion, or to get rid of alienation. They have no use for psychology. They detest sociology. They still believe in good, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation and other such obsolete stuff. Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. I am not ashamed to admit that I belong to those who fantasize that literature is capable of bringing new horizons and new perspectivesphilosophical, religious, aesthetical and even social. I have heard from my father and mother all the answers that faith in God could offer to those who doubt and search for the truth. In our home and in many other homes the eternal questions were more actual than the latest news in the Yiddish newspaper. In spite of all the disenchantments and all my skepticism I believe that the nations can learn much from those Jews, their way of thinking, their way of bringing up children, their finding happiness where others see nothing but misery and humiliation. I was brought up to believe in free will. Although I came to doubt all revelation, I can never accept the idea that the Universe is a physical or chemical accident, a result of blind evolution. Even though I learned to recognize the lies, the clichés and the idolatries of the human mind, I still cling to some truths which I think all of us might accept some day.

Isaac Bashevis Singer (pseudonym Warshofsky) received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978 "for his impassioned narrative art which, with roots in a Polish-Jewish cultural tradition, brings universal human conditions to life." Singer: Collected Stories "Open one of his books anywhere," Joyce Carol Oates says, "the words leap out with a power that would seem to us demonic if it were not, at the very same time, so utterly plausible." Isaac Bashevis Singer's stories are filled with temptation: the lure of power and money, the demands of lust and obsession. He wrote about ghosts, demons and spectres; but he also makes us believe. Perhaps anything is possible. Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991) Polish-born American writer.

Titanic Disaster 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."

Biography and Letters / Judaica / Photography / Film / American Studies Isaac Bashevis Singer and the Lower East Side Photographs by Bruce Davidson With introductions by Isaac Bashevis Singer, Ilan Stavans, Jill Meredith and Gabriele Werffeli Terrace Books Singer's own New York In 1973, the Yiddish writer and Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer collaborated with New York documentary photographer Bruce Davidson to make a surreal film, I saac Bashevis Singer's Nightmare and Mrs. Pupko's Beard. This film was at once a documentary about Singer's New York and a dramatization of one of his short stories. The film grew out of the pair's friendship as residents of the same building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and their common interest in New York City street life. During and after production, Davidson made numerous portraits of Singer and also returned to the Lower East Side for a documentary series of photographs. A selection of these stunning images made between 1957 and 1990 is available here for the first time. The book also includes portraits of Singer, stills from the film, the black and white portfolio known as

[Index] A Tale of Two Writers By Norman Lebrecht / May 24, 2004 It has taken me all my reading life to realise that the two novelists I have most admired were born in the same year. The coincidence of their current centenary is no excuse for sentimental reflection on my part, but the more I reread their work the more unexpected confluences arise between two epochal storytellers who never met nor (when I asked them) admitted to reading the other. Both have been victims of fluctuant taste. Isaac Bashevis Singer, who won the Nobel Prize in 1979, has fallen so far out of fashion that British publishers are no longer bothered to keep his works in print or raise a bid for a recent tell-all biography by a French journalist, Florence Noiville. Graham Greene, who was denied the Nobel amid imputations of sexual jealousy on the part of one of the judges, has regained popularity. His titles are perpetually recycled in fresh paperback covers, his life has attracted a dozen prurient memoirs and the final tome of a footstep-by-footstep biography by Norman Sherry will hog the review pages come autumn. 'Don't ask me, ask Sherry,' he laughed, when I nagged him on some fact-checking detail. One of the privileges of journalism is that, with persistence, you can get to meet everyone you've ever wanted to. I spent a day with Greene in 1984, roaming his wartime haunts, and a day and a night with Singer in 1983, talking beneath the stars on a magic mountain. Both were reputed to be difficult. Greene had agreed to the interview at the pressing of his publishers, anxious to revive stagnant sales. Singer I caught when bored; his wife, Alma, would drag him for six weeks each summer to a mind-numbing Swiss resort.
