Blitz and other stories is the first-ever English translation of the short story collection by Esther Kreitman, the elder sister of Isaac Bashevis Singer. This is a set of stories surrounding the two separate worlds of the shtetls of Poland and the war-ravaged Jewish community of London. The stories in Blitz are wry and biting vignettes of Jewish family and community life. Kreitman casts a compassionate and ascerbic eye on her characters. The stories reflect her deep sense of personal and social injustice.
