This fall season has not been very prolific of books of Jewish interest That fact is, upon the whole, not very surprising. Jewish books do not sell. They do not sell although, as we should never be tired, of reminding ourselves, there are more Jews in America than there are people in Norway. I know the reasons. They are all bad reasons. Of course we are Americans; •we are excellent Americans. We should be infinitely better Americans if •we were better and more .instructed Jews. • " Fiction represents an occasional and happy exception to the rule that Jewish boots do not sell. The exception can be called happy for the. reason that those Jewish ~novelB that do from time to time attain a considerable circulation are not mere romances according to the crowd's reveries or wishfulfillments but works of - the creative imagination in the higher sense. . It is so again this season. With a real lifting of the h e a r t ! have seen the weekly rise in the best-seller lists of the Herald-Tribune of "The Brothers Ashkenazi" by I. J. Singer (Alfred A. Knopf). Mr. Singer is, of course, the distinguished Tiddisb novelist and dramatist to whom we owe "Yoshe Kalb," and since the English translation is by Manrice Samuel the book before j us is easily equal to the original' in texture and style. The novel is one of epic productions- and— what is far rarer—of epic sweep. It is the chronicle in terms of j both psychological and social j forces of the rise and decline of! the city Lodz. Crowds people t o j the foreground; intensely con- j ceived an-i brilliantly embodied
