Description:... This volume presents a bibliographical history of Nobel Prize Winner Isaac Bashevis Singer, and traces the issues which have become most important in discussions of Singer's work, including the controversy surrounding the primacy of his English texts. Reviews and essays by such luminaries as Susan Sontag, Ted Hughes, Irving Howe, and Leslie Fiedler span Singer's entire career, participate in ongoing critical discussions of his work, and open up new areas for future scholarship.
