Features: This book combines the study of writers with comparative literature. The title "Who is God" immediately makes the author think of Singer's special religious background. Singer's father, grandfather, and maternal grandfather were all rabbis (spiritual leaders and religious mentors of the Jewish community). He himself was also trained in traditional Judaism from a young age, and for him, seeking knowledge meant thinking about the ultimate meaning of God and life. Singer is an Yiddish writer, which makes him very different from a large group of Jewish American writers who write in English and are fully integrated into American society.
