«Una boda en Brownsville» is a collection of short stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer, published by Bruguera in hardcover and in Spanish.
It brings together narratives set in twentieth-century Jewish communities in which weddings, rituals and everyday life portray love, family and tradition. Singer combines humor and melancholy to show characters trapped between faith, memory and their desires.
The translation is by Juan del Solar and Patricia Cruzalegui, and the original title, «Short Friday», was published in 1963.
Recommended for readers of short fiction and twentieth-century narrative interested in Jewish traditions and life.
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.

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).
