Ginsburg's English translations of Singer's short stories -- among them "Tseytl un Rikl" (published as "Zeitel and Rickel" in _The Seance and Other Stories, 1968) -- are among the finest we have, a fact easily verified because all the tales Ginsburg laboured over have published Yiddish texts that permit detailed comparison.
Given her expertise, Ginsburg, a source of several scathing exposes of Singer's mean-spiritedness in Hadda's biography, inevitably called forth Singer's deepest animus against the translators on whom he was so reliant.
Shub had not been invited, Singer added: 'She's just a translator.' Ginsburg retorted: 'Well, who am I?' She understood that Singer may well have suspected that he was being 'interviewed' for the Nobel prize, and that he was not inclined to be generous to his long-time collaborators." (Hadda, 169).

 eBay - Book: Clay Boy (ISBN: 0688144098)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Ginsburg's rambunctious adaptation of a Russian folktale introduces a little clay fellow who is fashioned by a lonely elderly couple, comes to life and starts wreaking havoc.
It's an exuberant, larger-than-life tale, and Ginsburg (The King Who Tried to Fry an Egg on His Head) tells it with gusto, energizing her assured prose with the well-placed repetition ("thump, thump, thump" go the big clay feet) that makes for a prime read-aloud.
Smith's (Runnery Granary) paintings play up the story's ethnic roots with tidy, thatched-roof cottages and cheerful peasants, the women in babushkas, the men in flowing beards and Cossack shirts.

 Yevgeny Zamyatin, We   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
This novel has served as the inspiration for what has become, if not a genre, then at the very least a dominant sub-genre of science fiction.
The edition I read for this review was translated by Mirra Ginsberg for publication in 1972, and has a wonderful introduction further outlining the major events in Zamyatin’s life.
However, it is not necessary to be intimately familiar with the totalitarian political structure of Stalin’s Russia to feel the full impact of We.
