jadzia's review against another edition
4.0
I have never read anything written by Singer but after reading this album I'll definitely give him a chance. Singer is not an extremely popular writer in Poland but he's definitely more American in his texts, hence much more appreciated out there.
This album is a biography of Singer, brief comments from different authors/publishers, and a collections of photographs from his life - a perfect combo if you want to know any writer better. The editors of this book take us on a jounrey through Singer's life back in Poland and in America, showing how many different events in his life influenced his work.
I especially liked brief comments from various writers, mostly regarding their memories of Singer and the influence of his books and stories on their works.
