Review: A most unique writer! One of the best! - Bernard Melamud has the ability to write like no other, and he can project such feeling about the Jewish culture that the reader becomes so familiar with. The stories are sweet, tender, quiet, easily paced. They deal with many aspects of the Jewish community hardships, loves, struggles, friendship, propriety, accomplishments, loneliness, self-sacrifice, victims, hatred, etc. You can begin to read Malamud stories and become enthralled with the storyline and furthermore, you can always put a face to his interesting and very strong characters. Malamud can touch on satirical, parable, spiritual, allegorical, etc. He is considered a master of the short story, one of the best. The stories display a unique distinction. If you have not read any of his prized writings, start with The Assistant, 1957; The Natural 1952; The Tenants 1971, and the Prize Winning The Fixer 1966. And with the Short Stories, you simply have more engaging wonderful stories out of Bernard Malamud Malamud died in 1986, his father owned a grocery store, Oftentimes his writing covers in depth the small time workings of the grocery store, especially for The Assistant. There are many themes for this great anthology, a wonderful reading experience....Rizzo
Review: A wonderful collection of a unique Jewish author - Bernard Malamud is not only the master of the short story form, but is unique in his presentation of the American Jewish experience, idiom and psychology. Any insight into American Jewishness in the 20th century is incomplete without a reading of Malamud. Additionally, his use of language is psychologically accurate and so interesting. This collection is a wonderful resource.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a Good Book
*by R***3 on November 3, 2012*

"This is a good book." I think that says it best. It is long. I have forgotten much of it in the months since I read it. Even at that, it took me a while to get through the reading of it, but the book lends itself to that sort of discovery. The stories are mostly short, the themes are consistent and sympathetic. This is a good book. You can read it for a half an hour and walk away from it for a few days. Malamud clearly understands the work of writing. I'd fall short of calling him a master. His technique is good. His technique is very good, but I'm not sure he has the vision to be truly great writer. The things I like most about it are have nothing to do with memorable selections, wisdom, or elegance. The book actually has few of those things which makes my four star review rather remarkable. Malamud is such a literary technician that he makes up for these failures, and that is a thing to experience. He moves a story along. He creates a great depth of character with only a few little snapshots. His voices have a sound. His New York has a smell and a character. It is a thing of interest just to look back over these stories just to see how he accomplishes so much with so little. They provide a good view into the mechanism of story-telling, and that is precisely because they fail really to have very much else to them. They are mostly very simple stories. He makes a few artistic leaps, which are more than awkward, but mostly he writes stories. They are good stories. The second thing I really liked about this book was it's historical perspective. Malamud is so single minded and grounded in his time that what you get here is a cross-section of Jewish/American culture from the first World War on into the late 70's. As the generations shift, the stories also shift and the city changes with them. In these stories Malamud is inextricably bound up with his place in time. What this books amounts to is a witness of that place. This is something that I found myself dwelling over, even after the stories had faded. This book has a lot to offer. I think you should get it. It's a good book.
