"If I clean up this room it would lose its character". I am going to make good use of that quote! I love these success stories, and it's fun to see him go back to his old stomping grounds and see the same people who were there so many years ago.

Quentin Crisp insisted that after four years or so rooms don't get appreciably dirtier, so once you've crossed that line you're pretty much home free.

I enjoyed this documentary, he was certainly a uniquely talented and brilliant writer, (and doing it in a dying language!) For me it was great to learn about Isaac, I noticed right off he had an awesome sense of humor!😂 Personally I'm surprised his English was so impeccable!😃 Also, that lil bit of history on Coney Island was greatly appreciated too, "Astroland" must've really been something special back in those days! Can only imagine! Thank you so much David!✌

This really takes me back I interviewed Singer maybe close to this time . He was humorous and sharp. People adored him. He spoke for about an hour and he made people laugh. Now I am close to his age in 2024. Egads !

A great writer and man of integrity ! I so much wish I coud have shaken your hand Sir for all the compassion you had for animals. You were right Sir, killing animals for food is a total injustice. Thanks for your precious quotes.

Just discovered this. This is wonderful. He's one of my all-time favorite writers. I must have ready everything he wrote; and he wrote so much! He's in his 80s in this, and he moves about just great.

I am not familiar with Isaac Bashevis Singer after reading your description write up and listening to Isaac he come across as a fascinating fellow. I love when he talks about his wife saying why don't you clean up this room and his reply is. "If I clean up this room it would lose its character" in other words chaos is not really ugly. 😂 this is another one worth watching again. thanks David Hoffman.

When he was reading from the Newspaper almost to the end out of his briefcase, so disorganized, The date was My Birthday in 1970. A very sad and stressful time inynlife. I had just lost a baby in May and I was running from an abusive husband. How Odd And Serendipitous that he pulled out That particular newspaper. It reminded me I Survived That Time of my life. Thank you. I'm reading this in the Horror of Hamas invading Israel. This man Survived Hitler but yet the destruction,the useless Killings goes on. Thank You Mr. singer. You are a National and Jewish Treasure. 🙏✌️❤️🇺🇲

Quite incredible posting, Mr. H. I have the original WNET broadcast (posted to my channel) recorded on Beta (using a found machine back in the late 80s). It shows this footage and some additional scenes such as a visit to Montreal where IBS gave a lecture in Yiddish. It's a brilliant piece of work - certainly one of the best documentaries I know. How nice that I was already following your channel!

Some of his stories are taught in schools in Israel. I have personally read many of his books. His only son, by the way, was Israeli.
