This review is from: The Cross and Other Jewish Stories (New Yiddish Library Series) (Hardcover)
A truly great day to have this collection of the great Yiddish writer, Lamed Shapiro. Powerful, precise, spare magical realism stories/fables of the shtetl within and in the Old World that stand easily alongside Singer, Asch, Der Nister, etc, and the Latin American Magical Realists.
This is not all the Lamed Shapiro stories, but a solid chunk. Leah Garret has done an excellent job, a very detailed forward describing Lamed's life and writing. Stories are divided into three sections: Progrom Tales, The Old World, and The New World. Pogrom Tales: The Cross Pour Out Thy Wrath In the Dead Town The Kiss White Challah The Jewish Regime The Old World: Smoke Tiger Eating Days The Rebbe and the Rebbetsin The Man and His Servant Between the Fields Myrtle The New World: At Sea The Chair New Yorkish |
