Trade Review
"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
