About This Item
1 Small library stamps, BLEP. Private Temple Name & Presentation Plate FLEP, else content appears as, unread and unblemished with near fine light grey & black boards displaying no significant minimal surface/edge wear. DJ displaying minor surface/edge wear as shown. Small tear repaired on face, ID Tape at heel of spine.
There are 16 very well written, easy to read, engaging short stories, averaging 10 pages each. The stories are about characters and events in their lives. Each story is intriguing, never boring. Particularly enjoyed Yentl the Yeshiva Boy. If you enjoy the short story format, then Singer is a must read, however I preferred his "A Crown of Feathers and other stories". The stories in "A Crown...." are written ten years after the "Short Friday and Other Stories" book and for me, were just a little more interesting, intriguing and show an improvement in Singer's short story writing craft.
