Description
Summary:This capstone novel in Library of America's Bernard Malamud edition brings together his three final novels, The Tenants, about the growing tension between two male writers, one Jewish, the other Black, who are the only inhabitants of a crumbling Manhattan tenement house, Dubin's Lives, a revealing study in the perils and and promise of love in middle age and God's Grace, a postapocalyptic tale of upended evolution in which redemption depends on the lone human survivor's ability to find common ground with a talking chimp. Edited by Malamud's definitive biographer, the volume is rounded out with thirteen masterful short stories and the memoir "Long Work, Short Life" as well as a fascinating autobiographic sketch, " A Lost Bar-Mitzvah," published here for the first time.
