"Singer's first published story won the literary competition of the literarishe bletter and garnered him a reputation as a promising talent. A reflection of his formative years in "the kitchen of literature" can be found in many of his later works. IB Singer published his first novel, Satan in Goray, in installments in the literary magazine Globus, which he had co-founded with his life-long friend, the Yiddish poet Aaron Zeitlin in 1935. The book recounts events of 1648 in the village of Goraj (close to Bilgoraj) , where the Jews of Poland lost a third of their population in a wholesale attack by Cossacks. It explores the effects of the seventeenth-century faraway false messiah, Shabbatai Zvi, on the local population. Its last chapter imitates the style of a medieval Yiddish chronicle. With a stark depiction of innocence crushed by circumstance, the novel appears to foreshadow coming danger. In his later work, The Slave (1962) , Singer returns to the aftermath of 1648, in a love story between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman." (from Wikipedia).

"In Elijah the Slave, the winner of the 1970 National Book Award for children's literature retells a Hebrew legend with vivid simplicity and an internationally respected artist interprets it with a sincerity and fresh vision reminiscent of medieval art. Elijah, a messenger from God, sells himself as a slave to help Tobias, a poor, faithful scribe." Singer won the National Book Award for 1970 for A Day of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing up in Warsaw. "Singer believed in the power of his native language and thought that there was still a large audience, including in New York, who longed to read in Yiddish. In an interview in Encounter (February 1979) , he claimed that although the Jews of Poland had died, "something call it spirit or whatever is still somewhere in the universe. This is a mystical kind of feeling, but I feel there is truth in it." Some of his colleagues and readers were shocked by his all-encompassing view of human nature. He wrote about female homosexuality ("Zeitl and Rickel", "Tseytl un Rikl") , published in The Seance and Other Stories) , transvestism ("Yentl the Yeshiva Boy" in Short Friday) , and of rabbis corrupted by demons ("Zeidlus the Pope" in Short Friday). In those novels and stories which refer to events in his own life, he portrays himself unflatteringly (with some degree of accuracy) as an artist who is self-centered yet has a keen eye for the sufferings and tribulations of others.".
