520 1 $a"Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-91) is generally recognized as the most popular Yiddish writer of the twentieth century. His widely translated body of work, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978, is beloved around the world. But although Singer was a very public and outgoing figure, much about his personal life remains unknown. In Isaac B. Singer: A Life, Florence Noiville offers a glimpse into the world of this much-loved but elusive writer." "Singer's personal life was marked by contradiction: The son of a rabbi, he struggled with warring currents of devotion and doubt. Eager for affection, he was also known for his philandering. Devoted to the notion of family, he abandoned his own son before the Second World War. Drawing on letters, personal recollections, and interviews with Singer's friends, family, and publishing contemporaries, Noiville speaks to these paradoxes."--BOOK JACKET.
