Title: Short stories from the master
Review: Welcome to Isaac's world. His short stories take you through his life in New York City, back to Poland, and far back to the villages of his ancestors. It's a world of the occult, imps around every corner, and religeon as a part of daily life.Reading his stories is like getting grandfather's tales about the old country. A little bit spooky, a little bit comforting, and quite a bit nostalgic.Although Jews will probably understand more of the historical references, the stories are well written enough for a broad audience. Perhaps this reader's only regret is not being able to read them in their original Yiddish. The translations are done by an all star cast including Saul Bellow, but perhaps nothing beats the original.
