In 'Enemies: A Love Story', Isaac Bashevis Singer introduces us to Herman Broder, a refugee and survivor of World War II who unexpectedly finds three women in his life: Yadwiga, the Polish peasant who hid him from the Nazis; Masha, his true love, beautiful and neurotic; and Tamara, his first wife, who miraculously returns from the dead. Astonished by each new complication, Herman navigates a crowded, Yiddish New York with a sense of perpetually impending doom, resigned to a life of evasion. This novel explores themes of survival, love, guilt, and the complexity of human relationships in the context of the Holocaust and its aftermath.
Isaac Bashevis Singer was a Polish-born Jewish American novelist, short-story writer, memoirist, essayist, and translator in the United States. Some of his works were adapted for the theater. He wrote and published first in Yiddish and later translated his own works into English with the help of editors and collaborators. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. A leading figure in the Yiddish literary movement, he was awarded two U.S. National Book Awards, one in Children's Literature for his memoir A Day of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing Up in Warsaw (1970) and one in Fiction for his collection A Crown of Feathers and Other Stories (1974).
