5.0 out of 5 stars Stories of Love, Wonder, and Joy, September 30, 2004
These stories are filled with hope, love, and a sense of belonging to family and to the world. They are theological but never heavy-handed; they are luminous.

Singer writes with humor, gentleness, and a fine sense of the deeper realities of life: the depth of meaning that gives hope to everyday events and ordinary people.

The best short story collection I have come across.

4.0 out of 5 stars too bad about the typos, February 18, 2006
The stories are great, of course. They are real stories, with plots. But since when do Library of America editions have typos? They bugged me so much that I sold it to a second-hand bookstore. It appears that Microsoft spell-check was run instead of hiring a proof-reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars glorious writing, July 9, 2008
There is something magical about Singer's writing. It is so simple, so effortless, and yet so profound. I devoured all three volumes of the Library of America Singer short stories, and have gone on to several of the novels, as well as the children's stories. I am sure I will be going back to the short stories again and again, for the rest of my life.
