Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"By affording us a glimpse of Singer’s worldview in all its beguiling ambiguities,
Old Truths and New Clichés helps us see his noble achievement more clearly: to combine what he called a 'spiritual stenography' of higher powers with a record of our wrestling with lower passions."
---Benjamin Balint, Wall Street Journal"[A] touching collection. . . . The author’s fans will be delighted by this intimate anthology." * Publishers Weekly *
"
Old Truths and New Clichés, a new collection of Singer’s essays compiled by the writer, scholar, and translator David Stromberg . . . lays bare Singer’s motivating ideas for all to see. Stromberg’s work here really is heroic. . . . The great accomplishment of this collection is to . . . reveal [Singer] as a true intellectual with a coherent artistic vision."
---Dara Horn, Jewish Review of Books"[Singer] is revealed in these writings . . . as an author of consummate curiosity, humanity and erudition."
---Matt d’Ancona, Tortoise"[Singer’s] unique perspective spans an impressive range of issues. . . . Singer’s writing is enjoyable."
