Isaac Bashevis Singer ( I.B. Singer): Malamud, Bellow as well as others are the Jewish writers who wrote in English, so they are called America Jewish writers. But I.B Singers is called an American – Yiddish. He is greatly devoted to Yiddish language and culture. Being a Jewish writer, it is expected to him to be highly moralist. Of course, he is moralist but not like Malamud. Malamud is very much concerned with sexual moralism. He moralizes his character’s deep desire. His character’s success or failure is attributed to their sexual morality.The exploration of the demonic remains the theme of Singer’s both short stories and novels. His use of demonic element is the perfect vehicle for a tormented and ambivalent sexuality. Thus, his Jewishness, although slightly different from that of other writers is visible in his work. It is not that sexually immoral characters are not punished in his novels, but these things are put in footnotes to the main attraction of the text. Sexually immoral characters are not necessarily punished in his novels. The suspension of moralizing leads to full exploration of the demonic, which is a departure from conventional Jewish writers.
Singer is greatly devoted to Yiddish language and culture. Some of his famous works are :
