Review:
"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 "

From the Publisher:
The Magic Barrel was chosen out of all the American fiction of its year to receive the National Book Award of 1959 – an honour which had only once before been accorded to a book of short stories, those of William Faulkner.Malamud’s great gifts as a writer are his humour, his profound concern for all human life and his ability to transmute common things and people into a strange poetry – as the New York Herald Tribune said ‘He is master of an alchemy whereby the grossest reality is converted to the most imaginative uses. He transcribes everyday life and yet the result glows with lights never seen on land or sea.’
