About this listen

The Magician can dazzle the crowds with his sleight of hand, climb to any height, open any lock. Fearlessly, he does death-defying tricks in theaters all over Poland. At home, his sweet Jewish wife waits for him to return from the city. In the city, his adoring mistresses wait for him to return from home. He holds the key to all hearts, but his own is beset with confusion.©1988 Isaac Bashevis Singer (P)2000 Jewish Contemporary Classics, Inc. All rights reserved.

He's always at his best, so my title is misleading and true at the same time, which is a way of saying Magician is filled with ambiguity and paradox.

Loved this book. Loved everything about this book. Loved Yasha. Such a subtle and unique exploration of Jewish identity. Mazel Tov!!!! Must, must read. Yes recording was old, but Larry Keith was superb in all respects.

Loved it.

A complex masterwork of fiction and an amazing meditation on the nature of religion and Jewishness in Europe and the modern age. I couldn't stop listening to it all the way through. The reader does a compelling and highly entertaining job, and really brings the characters to life in a way that absolutely fits the story.

Complex Masterpiece

A story that leaves you thinking, deciding, wondering. This is what Singer bestows upon us. And Larry Keith’s performance is really exceptional. However, this recording is technically flawed. The entire track sounds muffled, as if the narrator was under several blankets while performing. This can likely be remedied by a good audio engineer. Just be aware of this issue. Hopefully, you can evaluate when you listen

Excellent except for a technical issue
