In the World of Chaos

This volume includes a collection of Isaac Bashevis Singer's

early work, including 27 short stories, 7 sketches of early fiction, and a

range of critical essays, childhood memoirs, and interviews.



Singer's early literary career in Warsaw (1925-1935) was crucially

important in laying the building blocks for his great achievements in Jewish

and world literature as a storyteller of Polish Jewry. During this period,

Singer worked as a journalist, writer and translator in the main Yiddish center

in Eastern Europe. However, much of this work remains unavailable in

English-language translation. This volume makes part of Singer's early fiction

and non-fiction available for scholarship, teaching, and a general readership

for the first time.
