Review"Sparkling and triumphant, Isaac Bashevis Singer's stories are filled with wonder, gratitude, humor, irony and a wry eroticism that manages to exalt the pleasures of the flesh and the soul at the same time."—Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World "There are whole fistfuls of masterpieces in this one volume: a cornucopia of invention . . . When all is said and done, [it] is an American master's 'Book of Creation.'"—Cynthia Ozick, The New York Times Book Review Product DescriptionThe forty-seven stories in this collection, selected by Singer himself out of nearly one hundred and fifty, range from the publication of his now-classic first collection, Gimpel the Fool, in 1957, until 1981. They include supernatural tales, slices of life from Warsaw and the shtetls of Eastern Europe, and stories of the Jews displaced from that world to the New World, from the East Side of New York to California and Miami.

The author’s knowledge and experience of psychology are indisputable, and her ability to expound the modus operandi of magic is second to none.’OCCULT REVIEWPRISONER OF THE OPAL‘I saw the world as a vast opal in which I stood. An opal luminously opaque, so that I was dimly aware of another world outside mine.Obsessed and tormented by a desperate inner need, Hugh Paston strove to appease and fulfil his questing soul.But the course of action on which he embarked risked both mind and body. His invocations to the Great God Pan opened up his sub-conscious, revealed memories belonging to a former self. A self that slowly took control, compelling him to relive another’s emotions and to encounter their succuba in the utopian vales of Arcady.‘Shoots with remarkable success at a most ambitious target.’GUARDIAN Views: 37
"Meet Gascoyne, a new breed of hero, a man who spends whole weeks in his car, eats there, sleeps there, and conducts his business - wielding power, pinching pennies, and fostering corruption - by mobile phone as he somehow manages to drive through bumper-to-bumper traffic at fifty miles an hour. But he's found a new preoccupation, hunting down the killer - last seen slithering away from the crime scene in a tree-sloth costume - of his business associate and finding out how the southern California megalopolis has suddenly slipped out of his grasp." A tour de force blending of genres - Alfred Hitchcock, jungle-war novels, science fiction, mad doctor movies, Westerns, James Bond, 18th-century mock epics, Greek tragedy and hardboiled detective stories - first published in 1966, Gascoyne is a hilarious look into a future that looks remarkably like the present.
