		Not that there is any serious objection to Singer's artistic stature: he stands as the bedeviling, but monumental, chronicler of a vanished Eastern European Jewish culture destroyed by the Nazis, a savior of the Yiddish language.
		Singer also garnered attention for his non-traditional treatment of Jewish folk culture: he often wrote about dybbuks, ghosts, erotic obsession, and the irrational.
		Singer explained that, for him, "literature is the story of love and fate, a description of the mad hurricane of human passions and the struggle with them." Many in the Yiddish community find his fixation on the close relationship between sex and death distasteful and calculatingly exotic.

	About Isaac Bashevis Singer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991) was one of the most prolific, controversial, and best-loved chroniclers of Jewish experience in Eastern Europe, especially Poland, where he was born.
		Singer both reflects everyday Jewish life in Poland in the early 20th century (depicted in greater detail in the largely autobiographical Stories from My Father's Court) but also adds a dose of fantasy and heterodox folk elements.
		Since Singer continued to write until the 1980s, many years after the Holocause, it's not surprising that the stories contain many references to events that took place after the times they describe.
