The seventy-five years of his life are as fabulous, colorful - and elusive - as any of the stories told by this contemporary master of fiction. Paul Kresh, a longtime friend of Singer's, illuminates the man and his work. Through diligent research and countless interviews - with Singer himself, members of his family, friends, acquaintances, and colleagues - he recreates Singer's boyhood in the Jewish ghettoes of Poland, his struggles as a Yiddish writer, his emigration to America, and ultimate success as a world-renowned author of novels, short stories, memoirs, and children's books. . . . The portrait that emerges is of a unique genius, a folk hero - preserver of a lost world.. . .""
