A Certain Bridge : Isaac Bashevis Singer on Literature and Life

- Used
- Paperback
- first
Tucson: The University of Arizona, 1971. This 1971 pamphlet should not be confused with Singer's 1979 publication, A CERTAIN BRIDGE. Fine condition. SEE PHOTO. Clean and tight. Sharp corners. NO creases. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are unmarked. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Softcover. 6" wide by 9" tall. Text of an interview with Isaac Bashevis Singer during his March 1971 visit to Arizona. From the Preface: "Here, then, is Singer on the art of the novel, symbolism, dogma in religion, the literary audience, the child, pantheism, 'the establishment of the non-talent,' and other matters. As these topics are obviously basic to Singer's vision, we hope this interview will serve as one kind of introduction to Singer's work." Here is a sample from the interview: "Yiddish was never used by policemen, by gendarmes. It is a very peaceful kind of language. Naturally Hebrew is already used now by people who make war, but Yiddish is as real pacifistic kind of language." -- Isaac Bashevis Singer. Bound in the original gold wraps, printed in brown.. First Edition. Softcover (stapled wraps). Fine condition. Unpaginated (but 32 pages).

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
