Isaac B. Singer biography

New York, USA (Sun): The world outside the page, for the writer, is almost always less alluring than the world he creates in his imagination. Why should he desert the latter, where he is always in control, for the former, where he is at the mercy of strangers? Such, at any rate, was the attitude of Isaac Bashevis Singer, who submerged himself in writing so completely that he only grudgingly came up for air. Even on vacation in Switzerland, remembered his French translator, he would insist: "We can't see each other in the morning, because I work. Nor in the afternoon, because I work." It is no wonder Florence Noiville titles one section of her slight new biography, "Isaac B. Singer: A Life", "An Industrial Methodology."
