When he finished, Rachel
Miller, the nine-year-old sit-
ting next to me, turned and
said, "He's a brilliant per-
son. He writes about what he
thinks is nice and is good to
happen. I want to read more
of his books."
There will be no more new
books by Isaac Bashevis
Singer for Rachel Miller to
read. But she may be reliev-
ed that he left such a boun-
tiful and fecund legacy, one
many volumes deep and
many, many stories and
imaginings wide; one that
preserved both a culture
that is fast fading and a
language that is functional-
ly almost moribund, despite
efforts to sustain and
preserve it.
As a child himself, Mr.
Singer once recalled, his
"dreams were filled with
demons, ghosts, devils,
corpses. Sometimes before
falling asleep, I saw shapes.
They danced around my bed,
hovered in the air."
The fictions of Mr. Singer
will forever hover in the air
around us, reminding us of a
time when people lived by
tales and myths, and took
them into their hearts to
feed their deepest longings
and their most profound
desires.

"How can he be mine?" I
argued. "He was born 17
weeks after the wedding."
"She told me then that
he was premature. I said,
"Isn't he a little too pre-
mature?" She said she
had had a grandmother
who carried just as short a
time and she resembled
this grandmother of hers
as one drop of water does
another . . . To tell the
plain truth, I didn't
believe her; but when I
talked it over the next day
with the schoolmaster he
told me that the very same
thing had happened to
Adam and Eve. Two they
went up to bed, and four
they descended.
"There isn't a woman in
the world who is not the
granddaughter of Eve," he
said.
That was how it was;
they argued me dumb. But
then, who really knows
how such things are?
— From "Gimpel the
Fool"
I repeated to Shosha
stories I had read or heard
from my mother and
father, embellishing them
freely. I told her of the
wild forests of Siberia, of
Mexican bandits, and of
cannibals who ate their
own children . . . I boasted
. . . that I was familiar with
the Kabbalah, and knew
expressions so sacred they
would, could draw wine
from the wall, create live
pigeons, and let me fly to
Madagascar. One such
name I knew contained 72
letters, and when it was
uttered the sky would turn
red, the moon topple, and
the world would be
destroyed.
Shosha's eyes would fill
with alarm. "Arele, don't
ever say the word."
"No, Shoshele, don't be
afraid. I will make it so
you'll live forever."
— From Shosha
A wave of affection drew
him to this grandmother
who rose each day with the
sun, and cooked and bak-
ed, swept the house, and
served the guests . . . The
atmosphere in this house
was alive with Sabbath,
holidays, the anticipation
of the Messiah, and of the
world to come. As the old
woman hustled about she
whispered through her
whitish lips and nodded
her head as if aware of a
truth known only to those
not deceived by the vanity
of worldly things.
— From The Magician of
Lublin
In his old age, Leibel
was no longer called mere-
ly Leibel, but the saintly
Reb Leib. His beard
became white as silver. He
could cure the sick with a
touch, know what was
happening in faraway
cities, and foresee the
future. Neitze, even
though she was busy with
her grandchildren .. .
helped her husband and
copied his writings with a
quill pen.
The inn was a haven for
all travelers who lost their
way. It was said that no
candles or oil lamps were
needed there at night, be-
cause angels, seraphim,
and cherubs descended at
dark and lit the inn with
heavenly light.
— From "The Fear-
some Inn" ❑
