While obscurity in content and style may now be the fashion,clarity remains the ambition of this writer. This is especiallyimportant since I deal with unique characters in uniquecircumstances, a group of people who are still a riddle to the worldand often to themselves—the Jews of Eastern Europe, specificallythe Yiddish-speaking Jews who perished in Poland and those whoemigrated to the USA. The longer I live with them and write aboutthem, the more I am baffled by the richness of their individualityand (since I am one of them) by my own whims and passions. WhileI hope and pray for the redemption and resurrection, I dare to saythat, for me, these people are all living right now. In literature, as inour dreams, death does not exist.
