AdvertisementsEarlylifeIsaac Bashevis Singer was born in 1902 in village near, then part of the. Afew years later, the family moved to a nearby Polish town of, which is often anderroneously given as his birthplace. The exact date of his birth isuncertain, but most probably it was November 21, 1902, a date thatSinger gave both to his official biographer Paul Kresh, and hissecretary Dvorah Telushkin.It is also consistent with the historical events he and his brotherrefer to in their childhood memoirs. The often quoted birth date,July 14, 1904 was made up by the author in his youth, most probablyto make himself younger to avoid the draft.His father was a and his mother, Bathsheba, was the daughterof the rabbi of.
Singer later used her name in hispen name 'Bashevis' (Bathsheba's). His elder siblings-brother (1893-1944) and sister Esther Kreitman(1891–1954)-were also writers. Esther was the first in the familyto write stories.The family moved to the court of the Rabbi of Radzymin in 1907,where his father became head of the Yeshiva. After the Yeshivabuilding burned down in 1908, the family moved to Krochmalna Streetin the -speaking poor Jewish quarterof Warsaw, where Singer grew up. There his father acted as a rabbi— i.e., judge, arbitrator, religious authority and spiritualleader. The FamilyMoskatSinger became an actual literary contributor to theForward only following his older brother's death in 1945,when he published The Family Moskat in his honor.
But hisown style showed in the daring turns of his action and characters -with (and this in the Jewish family-newspaper in 1945) doubleadultery in the holiest of nights of Judaism, the evening of. He was almostforced to stop writing the novel by his legendary editor-in-chief,but was saved by readers who wanted the story to go on. After this,his stories - which he had published in Yiddish literary newspapersbefore - were printed in the Forward as well. Throughoutthe 1940s, Singer's reputation grew.
After World War II and thenear destruction of the Yiddish-speaking peoples, Yiddish seemed tobe a dead language. Though Singer had moved to the United States,he believed in the power of his native language and maintained thatthere was still a large audience that longed to read in Yiddish. Inan interview in Encounter (Feb. 1979), he claimed thatalthough the had died,'something - call it spirit or whatever - is still somewhere in theuniverse. This is a mystical kind of feeling, but I feel there istruth in it.' Some of his colleagues and readers were shocked by thisall-encompassing view of human nature.
He wrote about femalehomosexuality ('Zeitl and Rickl' in 'The Seance'), transvestitism('Yentl the Yeshiva Boy' in 'Short Friday'), and of rabbiscorrupted by demons ('Zeidlus the Pope' in 'Short Friday'). Inthose novels and stories which seem to recount his own life, heportrays himself unflatteringly (with some degree of accuracy) asan artist who is self-centered yet has a keen eye for thesufferings and tribulations of others.
LanguageSinger always wrote and published in Yiddish – almost all of itin newspapers – and then edited his novels and stories for theirAmerican versions, which became the basis for all othertranslations; he referred to the English version as his 'secondoriginal'. This has led to an ongoing controversy whereby the 'realSinger' can be found in the Yiddish original, with its finely tunedlanguage and sometimes rambling construction, or in the moretightly edited American version, where the language is usuallysimpler and more direct. Many of Singer's stories and novels havenot yet been translated.In the short story form, in which many critics feel he made hismost lasting contributions, his greatest influences were. From Maupassant, Singerdeveloped a finely grained sense of drama. Like the French master,Singer's stories can pack enormous visceral excitement in the spaceof a few pages. From Chekhov, Singer developed his ability to drawcharacters of enormous complexity and dignity in the briefest ofspaces. In the forward to his personally selected volume of hisfinest short stories he describes the two aforementioned writers asthe greatest masters of the short story form.
SummarySinger published at least 18 novels, 14 children's books, anumber of memoirs, essays and articles, but is best known as awriter of short stories, which have appeared in over a dozencollections. The first collection of Singer's short stories inEnglish, was published in1957. The title story was translated by and published in May 1953 inthe. Selections from Singer's 'Varshavsky-stories' inthe Daily Forward were later published in anthologies suchas My Father's Court (1966). Later collections includeA Crown of Feathers (1973), with notable masterpieces inbetween, such as The Spinoza of Market Street (1961) andA Friend of Kafka (1970). His stories and novels reflectthe world of the East European Jewry he grew up in.
And, after hismany years in America, his stories concerned both the world of theimmigrants and how their American dream proves elusive when theyobtain it, e.g. JudaismSinger's relationship to Judaism, which was complex andunconventional, evades description because he did not write verymuch directly about it. On the other hand, he often employsfirst-person narrators in his fiction that are clearly meant torepresent him personally.He regarded himself as a skeptic and a loner, though he felt aconnection to his orthodox roots. Ultimately, he developed a viewof religion and philosophy, which he called 'private mysticism:Since God was completely unknown and eternally silent, He could beendowed with whatever traits one elected to hang upon Him.' Singer was raised Orthodox and learned all the Jewish prayers,studied Hebrew, and learned Torah and Talmud. As he recounted inthe autobiographical 'In My Father's Court', he broke away from hisparents in his early twenties and, influenced by his older brother,who had done the same, began spending time with non-religiousBohemian artists in Warsaw.
Although he clearly believed in amonotheistic God, as in traditional Judaism, he stopped attendingJewish religious services of any kind, even on the High Holy Days.He struggled throughout his life with the realization that a kindand compassionate God would never inflict the massive suffering hesaw around him, especially the deaths of thePolish Jews he grew up with. In one interview with the photographerRichard Kaplan, he said, 'I am angry at God because of whathappened to my brother': Singer's older brother died suddenly inFebruary 1944, in New York, of a thrombosis, his younger brotherperished in Soviet Russia around 1945, after being deported withhis mother and wife to Southern. But his anger did not appear tobecome atheism.

In one story his narrator tells a woman, 'If youbelieve in God, then he exists.' Despite all the complexities of his religious outlook, Singerlived in the midst of the Jewish community throughout his life. Hedid not seem to be comfortable unless he was surrounded by Jews;particularly Jews born in Europe.
Although he spoke, andquitefluently, he always considered his natural tongue, he always wrotein Yiddish and he was the last famous American author writing inthis language. After he had achieved success as a writer in NewYork, Singer and his wife began spending time during the winterswith the Jewish community in Miami.
Eventually, as senior citizens,they moved to Miami and identified closely with the European Jewishcommunity: a street was named after him long before he died. Singerwas buried in a traditional Jewish ceremony in a Jewishcemetery.Especially in his short fiction, he often wrote about variousJews having religious struggles; sometimes these struggles becameviolent, bringing death or mental illness.
In one story he meets ayoung woman in New York whom he knew from an Orthodox family inPoland. She has become a kind of hippie, sings American folk musicwith a guitar, and rejects Judaism, although the narrator commentsthat in many ways she seems typically Jewish. The narrator saysthat he often meets Jews who think they are anything but Jewish,and yet still are.In the end, Singer remains an unquestionably Jewish writer, yethis precise views about Jews, Judaism, and the Jewish God are opento interpretation. Whatever they were, they lay at the center ofhis literary art. VegetarianismSinger was a prominent forthe last 35 years of his life and often included vegetarian themesin his works. In his short story, The Slaughterer, hedescribed the anguish of an appointed slaughterer trying toreconcile his compassion for animals with his job of killing them.He felt that the ingestion of meat was a denial of all ideals andall religions: 'How can we speak of right and justice if we take aninnocent creature and shed its blood?'
When asked if he had becomea vegetarian for health reasons, he replied: 'I did it for thehealth of the chickens.' In The Letter Writer, he wrote 'In relation toanimals, all people are Nazis; for the animals, it is an eternalTreblinka.' In the preface to Steven Rosen's 'Food for Spirit: Vegetarianismand the World Religions' (1986), Singer wrote, 'When a human killsan animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice.Man prays for mercy, but is unwilling to extend it to others. Whyshould man then expect mercy from God? It's unfair to expectsomething that you are not willing to give.
It is inconsistent. Ican never accept inconsistency or injustice. Even if it comes fromGod. If there would come a voice from God saying, 'I'm againstvegetarianism!' I would say, 'Well, I am for it!' This is howstrongly I feel in this regard.'

The storyteller and poet of our time, as in any other time, must bean entertainer of the spirit in the full sense of the word, notjust a preacher of social or political ideals. There is no paradisefor bored readers and no excuse for tedious literature that doesnot intrigue the reader, uplift him, give him the joy and theescape that true art always grants.(Hebrew: יצחק באַשעװיס זינגער or יצחק בת־שבֿעס זינגער) (born - as Icek-HerszZynger, died -) was aPolish-American writer of short stories and novels in; he used his mother's name indevising his penname 'Bashevis' (son of Bathsheba).

We must believe in free will — we have nochoice. An ironic statement which Singer made in many interviews overmany years; here quoted in City Journal ( Summer 1997)Variants or variant translations: We must believe in free will — wehave no other choice.You must believe in free will; there is no choice.We have to believe in free will. We’ve got no choice. Life is God's novel.
