The World According to Itzik: Selected Poetry and prose

In the years between 1929 and 1939, when Itzik Manger wrote most of the poetry and fiction that made him famous, his name among Yiddish readers was a household word. Called the Shelley of Yiddish, he was characterized as being drunk with talent. This anthology of Manger's work seeks to display the full range of his genius in poetry, fiction and criticism.
