A tragi-comedy of errors unfolds as Weitz gradually neglects his family, and his poor wife in particular, to focus maniacally on his business. Full of Singer's trademark humor and sharp, naturalistic prose, "Shammai Weitz" is an important addition to the canon of Singer's translated short fiction."--publisher's website. 546 $a Translated from the Yiddish. 650 0 $a Jews $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish printers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Warsaw (Poland) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Kennedy, Daniel, $d 1981- $e writer of postface. $e writer of postface. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302015657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B0FB1A6CB8CA11EDAC6855BD37ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
