Description: Featuring such classics as "The Cafeteria," "On the Way to the Poorhouse," "The Son," "Stories from Behind the Stove," and the title story, A Friend of Kafka and Other Stories is Isaac Bashevis Singer's fifth collection. It brings together twenty-one tales of rabbis and writers, heretics and saints, demons and angels, populating every sort of setting from the Polish shtetl to the Upper West Side to the Yiddish colonies in South America. "[Q]uite possibly the most impressive collection of Singer's richly crafted tales." — Kirkus "All of his tales are unfailingly entertaining, but Singer's reputation as a master storyteller rests on his ability as a teacher, in the real sense of the term: he establishes our trust in him by his open trust in us as readers, and we follow the narratives of his knowledge with a sense of personal discovery and delight at our own new perceptions about the news he has to tell us." — New York Times
