Jewish Novelist Discusses Work

"As heroes of God's novel, we are all immortal," Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jewish novelist and short story writer, told a crowd of 250 last night at 2 Divinity Ave.

He recounted his early development as a writer and explained how his current philosophy has crystallized through years of study and questioning. There is no good and evil, Singer said, but only man's efforts to create in the face of forces which inhibit that creation.

God Himself is a frustrated artist, Singer said, whose writing, life itself, is never completed. One thing can be said about God's novel, the Jewish author added--"it has suspense."
