Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Shosha
Shosha is a hauntingly lyrical love story set in Jewish Warsaw on the eve of its annihilation. Aaron Greidinger, an aspiring Yiddish writer and the son of a distinguished Hasidic rabbi, struggles to be true to his art when faced with the chance at riches and a passport to America. But as he and the rest of the Writers' Club wait in horror for Nazi Germany to invade Poland, Aaron rediscovers Shosha, his childhood love-still living on Krochmalna Street, still mysteriously childlike herself-who has been waiting for him all these years.

*** Mysteriously consoling. It's a long contemplation about life. Most of the characters felt very similar, maybe it's because all human beings are same deep down. We all desire the same, we hope for the same. So why war? That's the question. Where is God? If there ever was an almighty, it wouldn't make any sense looking back countless dark and bloody days in history of mankind. It was sad yet very interesting perspective from few intellectual Jews from Poland just before Hitler's coming. TheyMost synopses describe this book as a love story (The back cover says 'a hauntingly lyrical love story') but to me this is far from a story of love. It is more a story of devotion and the fatalistic push of life. Singer's characters are very vivid and well developed and I think one of the strengths of the story. That being said, the character of Shosha, the childhood love of the main character who remains a child through the years is uninspiring and frankly irritating. The meaning I took from
3.5 stars, rounded up for the novelty of the experience. This book has very little plot. In short, the son of a rabbi grows up during WW1 and loses faith (not in God, but in organised religion, humanity, the future). He drifts aimlessly through 1930s Warsaw, wanting to be a writer, but spending most of his time pursuing and being pursued by women (the Russian-American actress with the sugar daddy, the Gentile maid, the Stalinist who is sure she will be arrested any day now, the married

This book has personal relevance to me. My grandfather was a Polish Jew who fled to Cuba, but his siblings and parents perished in Poland. My favorite aspects of this book where the descriptions of Jewish life in Polish cities and small towns leading up to WWII. I found the descriptions of the various bickering political organizations humorous, and they reminded me of why my grandfather was wary of politics. This book tells a hard story but not one without the magical realism of everyday life.
The eponymous woman in this story of hardship and redemption, is Shosha, once a little girl who looked forward to marrying Aaron, a neighborhood boy, but who lost contact with him when his family moved to a different part of Warsaw. Aaron, an aspiring writer, is beset with bad ideas, until one day a rich American and his actress wife come to town. In the few years remaining before Adolph Hitler plunges the world into warand the Polish Jews into concentration campsAaron reunites with Shosha, and
