A portrait of one of America’s foremost writers—who, in keeping with the new American multicultural mosaic, did not write in English. In this program, made shortly before he died, the Nobelist discusses his literature and psychological sources in the folklore and daily life of the Eastern European ghetto from which he and his work both sprang, whose surreal visions of life transmogrified in the liberating air of American experience.
