| 520 | |a From the Nobel Prize-winning writer, a new collection of literary and personal essays. Old Truths and New Clichés collects nineteen essays - most of them previously unpublished in English - by Isaac Bashevis Singer on topics that were central to his artistic vision throughout an astonishing and prolific literary career spanning more than six decades.
