A Crown of Feathers

These richly hypnotic tales enfold the reader into Isaac Bashevis Singer's special world of imps, demons, lovers, and other mischievous creatures. His world is a world of feelings, driven by lust, lechery, greed, madness, and love. All of his creatures are seen with a clear but loving eye; all seem and are in fact possessed by good and evil, caught in fascinating dilemmas, now terrible, now wryly comic. Here is a dazzling new collection of stories from the fertile genius of Isaac Bashevis Singer, one of today's most entertaining and original writers. (from back cover)
