Hardcover. First English Language Edition (1995), so stated. First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Very Good in Very Good+ DJ: Both book and DJ show indications of very light use.

Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound showing mild wear and a minor, unobtrusive flaw. Bright and clean. Not far from 'As New'. The DJ shows a touch of wear to the head and heel of the backstrip and to the upper rear corner tip; moderate rubbing to the panels; a crease at the inside rear flap; the price is unclipped. Clean and intact; quite presentable. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.55 x 5.85 x 0.95 inches). x, 240 pages. Translated from the Hebrew by Barbara Harshav. Language: English. Weight: 17 ounces. Hardback with DJ. Singer immigrated from Poland in 1935, leaving behind a wife and a five-year-old son. Mother and son, in an attempt to escape war-torn Europe, moved to the Soviet Union, were later exiled to Turkey, and eventually settled in Israel. Zamir grew up on a kibbutz, far removed from the Jewish New York experiences of his father. Twenty years later, a reunion of sorts occurred in New York. From that difficult time grew a strong bond that enriched both their lives in unexpected ways. Zamir's memoir is a testimony to the sweeping power of forgiveness and repentance. Zamir translated all of his father's works into Hebrew, accompanied him to Sweden for the Nobel Prize ceremonies, and grew to appreciate and honor his father's creative genius. Zamir's skill as a journalist shines; his memoir is beautifully written, terse, yet rich in detail. The journey, of course, leads to a fuller understanding of Singer as a writer, but we will remember the trip. Zamir and Singer didn't meet again until the mid-1950s, when Zamir, a radical Zionist by then, traveled to the U.S. His account of their conflictful reunion and patient forging of a loving relationship is poignant on many levels. His well-told story embraces the tragedy of the Holocaust, the traumatic disillusionment with the Soviet Union once Stalin's horrors were revealed, and the courageous struggles of Israel, but what emerges most clearly and memorably is his portrait of his father. Zamir came to love and revere his mystical, egocentric, and immensely talented father and even grew to understand why his father was such a "Jewish Casanova." As he recounts his compelling conversations with his father, Zamir ponders Singer's belief in demons and ghosts and celebrates his endless curiosity, disciplined writing process, love of the Yiddish language, and great charm. Zamir's warm and vivid portrait proves that good writing runs in the Singer family. First English Language Edition (1995), so stated. First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence.
