Isaac Bashevis Singer Avis
Hadda [gives] us unique, exciting insights into Singer's creative process. - Leonard Nimoy; The iridescent charm of Isaac Bashevis Singer is such as to give the slip to the very letters of the alphabet, but Janet Hadda has out-tricked the Yiddish trickster in this brief but wonderfully alive-and-kicking biography. The story she tells will entertain, appall, and fascinate. - Jack Miles, MacArthur Fellow and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of God: A Biography
