Synopsis

Bernard Malamud was an author of novels and short stories. His novel, The Magic Barrel, won the National Book Award in 1959. The novel is comprised of thirteen stories, most taking place in dingy streets in New York, and others in Italy. The book has been recognized as a classic from the time in which it was published. The stories tell of matchmakers, rabbis, egg candlers, struggle and delights while blending urban realism and Yiddish idioms in a wonderfully artistic fashion. The author’s warmth and ironic humor make the stories universally appealing and unique. The stories included are The First Seven Years, The Mourners, The Girl of My Dreams, Angel Levine, Behold the Key, Take Pity, The Prison, The Lady of the Lake, A Summer's Reading, The Bill, The Last Mohican, The Loan, and The Magic Barrel.
