In the short story, Malamud achieved an almost psalmlike compression. He has been called the Jewish Hawthorne, but he might just as well be thought a Jewish Chopin, a prose composer of preludes and noctures. "Mark Shechner, Partisan Review"
There are thirteen stoires in "The Magic Barrel "and every one of them is a small, highly individualized work of art. This is the kind of book that calls for not admiration but gratitude. "Richard Sullivan, The Chicago Tribune""
