Summary

When Isaac Bashevis Singer emigrated to America in 1935, he left behind his wife and five-year-old son, Israel, with the promise to send for them as soon as he settled. He never did. In 1955, twenty years after their separation, Zamir came to New York to meet his father. Gradually their mutual trust grew, and Singer came to rely on his son, also a writer, to translate many of his works into Hebrew.

Singer’s strengths and failings, his methods for working, his passion of the Yiddish language, his lust for words, for women and for life all come to new light in Zamir’s candid and touching account. An honest exploration of the often charged and complex relationship between father and son, Journey to My Father, Isaac Bashevis Singer is a personal and moving portrait of one of the 20th century’s major writers.

Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as villains from history, such as Heinrich Himmler, John Wayne Gacy, and O. J. Simpson. We have also published survivor stories of World War II, memoirs about overcoming adversity, first-hand tales of adventure, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
