Explanation During Books Shosha

Shosha is a hauntingly lyrical love story set in Jewish Warsaw on the eve of its annihilation. Aaron Greidinger, an aspiring Yiddish writer and the son of a distinguished Hasidic rabbi, struggles to be true to his art when faced with the chance at riches and a passport to America. But as he and the rest of the Writers' Club wait in horror for Nazi Germany to invade Poland, Aaron rediscovers Shosha, his childhood love-still living on Krochmalna Street, still mysteriously childlike herself-who has been waiting for him all these years.

3.5 stars, rounded up for the novelty of the experience. This book has very little plot. In short, the son of a rabbi grows up during WW1 and loses faith (not in God, but in organised religion, humanity, the future). He drifts aimlessly through 1930s Warsaw, wanting to be a writer, but spending most of his time pursuing and being pursued by women (the Russian-American actress with the sugar daddy, the Gentile maid, the Stalinist who is sure she will be arrested any day now, the married

Most synopses describe this book as a love story (The back cover says 'a hauntingly lyrical love story') but to me this is far from a story of love. It is more a story of devotion and the fatalistic push of life. Singer's characters are very vivid and well developed and I think one of the strengths of the story. That being said, the character of Shosha, the childhood love of the main character who remains a child through the years is uninspiring and frankly irritating. The meaning I took from



I was glad to finish this novel! What a relief to leave the company of Singers aimless, mysogynistic, pretentious narrator! The Singer scholar who recommended the book told me it was an autobiographical novel that whitewashed the Singer character. Did the real Singer act in a more irresponsible, distasteful manner than his protagonist?Aaron is the son of a Polish Rabbi. His earliest memories are of Krochmalna Street, a poor Hasidic community in Warsaw. Growing up during the privations of World

What is this book about? That question defies answering. It is about the Holocaust, though the book's first 260 pages take place in Poland before Hitler's invasion, and the remaining 20 take place in Tel Aviv over a decade after. It is about the Jews who lived in Warsaw in the years before their ghettoization and deportation to concentration camps, but all of these are secondary characters in the book, and those two historical events are only described in passing in the epilogue. It is about a

Very good novel of Poland in the days prior to Hitlers invasion in 1939. The main character is a Jewish writer, Arele Greidinger, who travels in both the secular Jewish world of Warsaws political and literary circles and the ghetto Hasidim in which he was raised. I was brought up on three dead languagesHebrew, Aramaic, and Yiddish (some consider the last not a language at all)and in a culture that developed in Babylon: the Talmud. Singer wrote many of his works like Dickens did, in serial form

This book has personal relevance to me. My grandfather was a Polish Jew who fled to Cuba, but his siblings and parents perished in Poland. My favorite aspects of this book where the descriptions of Jewish life in Polish cities and small towns leading up to WWII. I found the descriptions of the various bickering political organizations humorous, and they reminded me of why my grandfather was wary of politics. This book tells a hard story but not one without the magical realism of everyday life.
