Zusammenfassung: | Raised in Brooklyn, the son of Jewish immigrants, and coming of age in Depression-era New York, Bernard Malamud (1914-1986) began his career writing stories of unsparing precision and power, plumbing the depths of an impoverished urban world. His early, naturalistic style evolved into an inventive, often surreal idiom that blurs reality and fantasy. His first novel, The Natural (1952), is a dazzling reimagining of the possibilities of sports fiction, and it remains one of the greatest and most beloved novels about baseball ever written. In the The Assistant (1957), Malamud created a searing drama of guilt and redemption about a struggling grocer's family and the mysterious drifter who comes to rob, and then to work at, his store, transforming all of their lives in unforeseen ways. Joining these novels are twenty-six short stories, ranging from the early tale "Armistice," set in Brooklyn during the troubling weeks of the German invasion of France in 1940, to one of his deepest and most celebrated stories, "The Magic Barrel," a deep fable about a rabbinical student and the matchmaker who leads him to an utterly unexpected bride |

cca rich original of the first rank.
At age thirty-eight, after a long apprenticeship writing
stories, Bernard Malamud published his first book,
TThe isTcittiTctl
(1952.)
> and instantly redefined the possi¬
bilities of sports fiction. Reimagining the colorful
characters and storied episodes of baseball lore,
jVlalamud imbued the tale of Roy Hobbs
---
a once-
promising prospect whose first chance at a big-league
career had been sabotaged by a deranged
teníale
fan
---
with the grandeur of myth. Armed with Won¬
der boy, his beloved bat, Roy leads his New York;
Knights in an unlikely run at the league pennant. The
«quest leads him ever deeper into a thicket of intrigue
involving the team s venal owner, the manager s irre¬
sistible niece, and Roy s own insatiable appetites.
The son of a cash-strapped Brooklyn grocer, JVlalamud
transformed the bleak world of his youth into fiction
in his next novel, TThe
^ssistcM-it (15)5:7).
Aging shop¬

failure. An armed robbery at the store seems another

yet it brings about a change more
momentous than he could have expected when one of
the perpetrators, a drifter from the West named Frank
.Alpine, is shaken with remorse and comes to work for
JVIorris. Within the
confínes
of the claustrophobic
storefront and the surrounding neighborhood,
JVlalamud creates a riveting drama abotit suffering,
endurance, and the possibility of redemption. Criti¬

This Library of
America volume presents
Atalamnďs
complete short
fiction of the
1940s
and 50s: twenty-five stories and the
first chapter of an unfinished novel. In the taut prose of
tales such as The Bill, The Loan, and The Cost
of Living, Alalamud explored the close-to-the-bone
world of the Brooklyn he knew. As he evolved as a
writer his stories became more surreal and fantastic,
perhaps most unforgettably in the masterpiece The
Adagie
Barrel« Several beguiling tales set in Italy,
inspired by his year in Rome in
1956—57-,
show
Malamud making his distinctive contribution to the
enduring theme of the American abroad, and reveal
yet another facet of his development as a storyteller.
