Description: "Lost in America" is the third part of I.B. Singer's memoir of his early life following "A Little Boy in Search of God" and "A Young Man in Search of Love". In 1986, Singer combined the three parts into a new book, "Love and Exile: An Autobiographical Trilogy." I have the good fortune of owning the three original books, two of which I received as gifts. The books are keepsakes, beautifully printed, and with drawings and illustrations. Raphael Soyer's illustrations to "Lost in America" are sufficient to make the book precious. "Lost in America" begins in 1935 in Warsaw under the shadow of Nazism. Singer, 28, is about to receive documents allowing him to travel to America where his older brother, the novelist I.J. Singer, works in New York City. The memoir describes Singer's last few weeks in Warsaw, his passage by train through Nazi Germany and by ship to America, and the first few years of his difficult life in a new country. The memoir is introspective with its portrayal of Singer's loneliness, his sense of failure and almost suicidal depression, and his reflections on philosophy and on the existence of God and of the pervasive character of suffering and evil. Singer also reflects on sexuality as the constant theme of his writing, describing more than once the theme of his writing as the never-ending variety of relationships between men and women. Early in the memoir, Singer writes: "My number-one passion was the adventure of love, the endless varieties and tensions peculiar to the relationship between the sexes." The memoir is also descriptive of Singer's life and his surroundings. The strongest depictions occur early in the book of the life in Warsaw that Singer is leaving behind, including his contacts with other Yiddish writers and the lively political discussions of the day. The focus, however, is on the three women with whom Singer was carrying on affairs at the time. The train journey through Germany and the ocean crossing are described in detail showing Singer's loneliness and depression. In the final section of the book, Singer discusses his life in America where it appeared he would be doomed to failure as a result of writer's block and disorientation in what would become his adopted country. Singer quickly becomes involved in new love relationships while being haunted by those of his past. The book offers portrayals of downtown Manhattan, Greenwich Village, Coney Island and other places as seen from the perspective of a new immigrant who, even with the threat of Nazism, has been unable to move on fully from his earlier life. Readers find in books passages that speak immediately to them. While Singer is on the ship to the United States, he reads Henri Bergson's book "Creative Evolution" which at the time was highly popular. I have read "Creative Evolution" before and am currently re-reading it in a study group. I was taken with Singer's comment on his shipboard reading: "I was so engrossed in Bergson's work that for a while I forgot about my spiritual crisis. One didn't have to be a professional philosopher to recognize that Bergson was a talented writer, a Schongeist, [aesthete], not a philosopher, This was an elegant book, interestingly written, but lacking any new concepts. "Elan vital" is a pretty phrase but Bergson didn't even try to explain how it came to be a creative power. I had already grown accustomed to works that evoke a sensation of originality at the beginning only to find that when the reader reaches the last page, he is just as wise as he had been at the first."

Illustrations (including color plates). Isaac Bashevis Singer (November 11, 1903 - July 24, 1991) was a Polish-born Jewish-American writer who wrote and published first in Yiddish and later translated himself into English with the help of editors and collaborators. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978. A leading figure in the Yiddish literary movement, he was awarded two U.S. National Book Awards, one in Children's Literature for his memoir A Day Of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing Up in Warsaw (1970) and one in Fiction for his collection A Crown of Feathers and Other Stories (1974). In 1935, four years before the Nazi invasion, Singer emigrated from Poland to the United States. He was fearful of the growing threat in neighboring Germany. Singer settled in New York City, where he took up work as a journalist and columnist for The Jewish Daily Forward, a Yiddish-language newspaper. After a promising start, he became despondent and for some years felt "Lost in America" (title of his 1974 memoir, published in English in 1981). The artists who have illustrated Singer's novels, short stories, and children's books, include Raphael Soyer, Maurice Sendak, Larry Rivers, and Irene Lieblich. Singer published at least 18 novels, 14 children's books, a number of memoirs, essays and articles. He is best known as a writer of short stories, which have been published in more than a dozen collections. Isaac Singer takes us back in time to the mid-Thirties, when he was a young man in Poland, struggling to eke out a living and dreaming of joining his brother in America. This is the tale of how he made that trip and found himself confronting a strange land where an uncertain future lay ahead (from the dust-jacket). Singer is the seventh American and sole Yiddish writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, which he received in 1978. Derived from a Kirkus review: The Nobel Laureate continues his selective, semi-fictional memoirs with a third, large-print volume illustrated by Raphael Soyer. It's now 1935, and Isaac must escape from Poland and join his older brother in N.Y. Which means leaving behind his assorted amours: Trotskyite Lena, now pregnant; epically depressed matron Stefa; and cousin Esther. But Isaac does manage to get his visa and trembles his way across Europe to the boat at Cherbourg. He's lost on the ship. He fears that his dining-hall card marked "second sitting" is a signal to the waiter "to poison my food." He ends up eating in his cabin, served stale bread and cheese by "a man who could be a prison guard". . .until meeting congenial virgin Zosia. And once settled in Brooklyn, near writer brother Joshua, he's overwhelmed with melancholy: he can't write; he knows no English; he has an obsessive affair with an older woman, a haunted widow. Worse yet, he'll be deported if he doesn't get a permanent visa. So he embarks on a nerve-wracking scheme requiring him to sneak into Canadaâ"and his accomplice is Zosia, who clearly hopes to lose her virginity on the trip. Isaac returns to his cockroach-infested room, Zosia marries a rich oddball, life goes on: "I am lost in America, lost forever." And despite the nonstop laments, this sharp, shapely memoir bounces along quite merrilyâ"with the wicked, ironic grace of three or four overlapping Singer stories. Raphael Zalman Soyer (December 25, 1899 - November 4, 1987) was a Russian-born American painter, draftsman, and printmaker. Soyer was referred to as an American scene painter. He is identified as a Social Realist because of his interest in men and women viewed in contemporary settings which included the streets, subways, salons and artists' studios of New York City. He also illustrated two other books for Isaac Bashevis Singer, entitled A Little Boy in Search of God and Love and Exile.
