I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.

This is the second volume of a planned three volume set of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s articles originally published in the Forward. As with the first, some of the writings are still pertinent today, while others are dated. My enjoyment of the book was dampened by the poor condition of the pre-publication ebook. In many places, the narrative just stops and picks up someplace later. The flow of both Singer’s writing and the editor’s comments is totally shattered. I understand that pre-pubs are just that. Final editing may not have been done. However, the reader expects that the book can be read without disturbing breaks.

I was really happy to get approved to review this, because I find Singer's work interesting and important, but the formatting of the Kindle edition I received was so badly mangled--sentences that cut off, never to complete, sentences that started in the middle, with no indication of where they began, odd capitalization and font and spacing changes everywhere--I was unable to read most of it. What I did dig through is superb and timely and will undoubtedly be the subject of many conversations and debates, so 5 stars for the content, and 0 for the mess that is the eARC..
