«Un amigo de Kafka y otros relatos» is the short story collection by Isaac Bashevis Singer, published by Cátedra in paperback (470 pages, in Spanish).
The 22 stories in this collection are set in the Jewish communities of Central Europe and show characters divided between the traditions in which they were raised and the demand to integrate into modern life. With ironic and emotive prose, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Nobel Prize winner, turns these particular conflicts into universal experiences.
Published in 1990 in the Letras Universales collection; edited by Pilar Alonso.
For readers of short fiction interested in Jewish culture and the clash between tradition and modernity in Central Europe.
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).
