De lo que se habló en Polonia entre las grandes guerras
Bashevis Singer, I. T. Adolfo Martín (1979), Shosha,Penguin Random House
Siempre insisto en que los caminos que un libro tiene que andar hasta llegar a su lector son misteriosos. Aparentemente, el buscador de Amazon me indicaba que yo había pedido dos libros de Isaac Bashevis Singer, cosa extraña porque no conocía al autor ni había oído…

Menachem Mendel is an optimist, but is that always a good thing? He goes to seek his fortunes in the big city, but maybe he doesn’t exactly have the skills to make it in fortune-seeking. But no matter. Who needs skills when you’ve got verve and tenacity?
Tevye is a poor milkman, but he knows it’s no shame to be poor. He’s got five daughters to marry off, and he’d better start working on it before his wife chews his ear off.

"They wanted to be kind to God and not to man; but what did God need of man and his favors? What does a father want from his children but that they should not do injustice to each other?"

It doesn't have to be this way, Anshl has two hands!
I know everyone goes on and on about the Yentl film, and yes, it's an excellent movie and I love it, but if you haven't read the original short story the movie is based off of, you are seriously missing out. The original short story is so much more bisexual and so much more gender-fucky. You can read it here. You're welcome :)

"There is a great element of protest in all religion. Those who dedicate their lives to serving G-d have often dared to question His justice, and to rebel against his seeming neutrality in man's struggle between good and evil. I feel therefore that there is no basic difference between rebellion and prayer."
from "The Penitent," by Isaac Bashevis Singer
