Abstract

Isaac Bashevis Singer, one of modern literature's most outstanding figures, was born in Radzymin, Poland, in 1904, into a respected Hasidic family that numbered distinguished rabbis, scholars, and mystics among its ancestors. Singer's father was a rabbi and he himself was destined for a rabbinical career at an early age. However, the social and political upheavals that rent traditional Polish-Jewish society between the wars turned him and his elder brother, Israel Joshua (author of such Yiddish classics as Yoshe Kalb and The Family Carnovsky), toward literature.

Abstract

s. I think it is completely false. It's as if you would say that a French writer cannot be appreciated by the English. In a way it is true that a people of your nationality, of your group, understand you a little better. If you mention a town, they might have been in the town; your language is their language. But just the same the great writers are understood by all people all over the world. Isn't it a fact that Dostoyevsky is admired all over the world, yet the whole world does not consist of Russians or of people who speak only Russian. It is not true at all. This was Irving Howe's way of apologizing for why we have so many bad writers. But every group has many bad writers. If a writer really has something to say then he will be understood by all people all over the world. I myself read translations from Japanese or from Chinese or from Indian, Hindu or whatever, and if there is something good, I understand it and I appreciate it even though I don't know their way of living. In other words I deny that this is true.
