User reviews
LibraryThing member adavidow
These three short novellas are a perfect introduction to the life of eastern european Jews in the late 19th century, and a wonderful introduction to the Yiddish writer who, had he had the translators, would surely have gotten the Nobel prize instead of Singer (who is great, but just not Grade).
