The forty-seven stories in this collection, selected by Singer himself out of nearly a hundred and fifty, range from the publication of his now-classic first collection, Gimpel the Fool, in 1957, until 1981. They include supernatural tales, like "Taibele and Her Demon" and "The Deade Fiddler"; slices of life from Warsaw and the shetls of Eastern Europe, like the classics "A Friend of Kafka" and "The Spinoza of Market Street"; and stories, like "Old Love" and "The Reencounter," of the Jews displaced from that world to the New World, from the East Side of new York to California and Miami.
