His early, naturalistic style evolved into an inventive, often surreal idiom that blurs reality and fantasy. His first novel, The Natural (1952), is a dazzling reimagining of the possibilities of sports fiction, and it remains one of the greatest and most beloved novels about baseball ever written. In the The Assistant (1957), Malamud created a searing drama of guilt and redemption about a struggling grocer's family and the mysterious drifter who comes to rob, and then to work at, his store, transforming all of their lives in unforeseen ways. Joining these novels are twenty-six short stories, ranging from the early tale "Armistice," set in Brooklyn during the troubling weeks of the German invasion of France in 1940, to one of his deepest and most celebrated stories, "The Magic Barrel," a deep fable about a rabbinical student and the matchmaker who leads him to an utterly unexpected bride. 650 0 $a Baseball players $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grocers $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish families $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories, American. 700 1 $a Davis, Philip $q (Philip Maurice), $e editor of a compilation. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 248. 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018020156.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091601.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006075321.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20180522010715.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826093044.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917013125.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26F50280B3EB11E38723ADE5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
