Items related to In my Father's Court: A Memoir
This memoir consists of incidents that Singer remembers from his childhood in Warsaw, where his father was a rabbi in a poor quarter of the city. Through their rooms at 10 Krochmaina Street passed a variety of types who came to see the elder Singer for ruling on points of Jewish law and for personal advice and comfort. It shows a situation that could only have existed in the years before the deluge of the World War I. Singer has written many novels including "The Family Moscat", "Satan in Goray" and "A Friend of Kafka".

Review:
"The sort of book . . . only a writer at the height of his powers, firmly in command of his created world, his mind charged with vivid memories, can somehow shake effortlessly out of his sleeve . . . [The writing is] often close to the Biblical directness of feeling that Tolstoy prescribed for the 'universal art of the future.'"--Raymond Rosenthal, "The New Leader"
"A world that no longer exists reaches us thorugh one of the greatest literary artists of our time."--Albert H. Friedlander, " Saturday Review"
