Customer Reviews

A pioneering collection

What a pity editor Bellow could not include his great long short story " The Old System" in this collection. As it is it contains a number of truly wonderful stories, including the very great story that Bellow translated into English and is one of the most remarkable stories ever written Singer's ' Gimpel the Fool' But there are many other treats here which make for much absorbing reading.
