Naturally I immediately bought everything he wrote. Thank you, Stephen King. Bernard Malamud was a master of the short story, and is often compared to the genius of Chekhov. Not every writer has the special talent for the short story. I'm still reading it. I'm glad the book is arranged in chronological order, not from publication dates, but from when the author wrote them. Many stories have that sudden twist at the end which shocks the reader and plants a lasting impression. For me, so far, it is The Jewbird. An analogy that my mind just won't acknowledge, it's so disturbing. Serious topics but also lots of humor. How I hope schools include Malamud in their course work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A most unique writer! One of the best! *by �***� on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2012* Bernard Melamud has the ability to write like no other, and he can project such feeling about the Jewish culture that the reader becomes so familiar with. The stories are sweet, tender, quiet, easily paced. They deal with many aspects of the Jewish community hardships, loves, struggles, friendship, propriety, accomplishments, loneliness, self-sacrifice, victims, hatred, etc. You can begin to read Malamud stories and become enthralled with the storyline and furthermore, you can always put a face to his interesting and very strong characters.Malamud can touch on satirical, parable, spiritual, allegorical, etc. He is considered a master of the short story, one of the best. The stories display a unique distinction.If you have not read any of his prized writings, start with The Assistant, 1957; The Natural 1952; The Tenants 1971, and the Prize Winning The Fixer 1966. And with the Short Stories, you simply have more engaging wonderful stories out of Bernard MalamudMalamud died in 1986, his father owned a grocery store, Oftentimes his writing covers in depth the small time workings of the grocery store, especially for The Assistant.There are many themes for this great anthology, a wonderful reading experience....Rizzo ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a Good Book *by R***3 on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2012* "This is a good book." I think that says it best. It is long. I have forgotten much of it in the months since I read it. Even at that, it took me a while to get through the reading of it, but the book lends itself to that sort of discovery. The stories are mostly short, the themes are consistent and sympathetic. This is a good book. You can read it for a half an hour and walk away from it for a few days. Malamud clearly understands the work of writing. I'd fall short of calling him a master. His technique is good. His technique is very good, but I'm not sure he has the vision to be truly great writer.The things I like most about it are have nothing to do with memorable selections, wisdom, or elegance. The book actually has few of those things which makes my four star review rather remarkable. Malamud is such a literary technician that he makes up for these failures, and that is a thing to experience. He moves a story along. He creates a great depth of character with only a few little snapshots. His voices have a sound. His New York has a smell and a character. It is a thing of interest just to look back over these stories just to see how he accomplishes so much with so little. They provide a good view into the mechanism of story-telling, and that is precisely because they fail really to have very much else to them. They are mostly very simple stories. He makes a few artistic leaps, which are more than awkward, but mostly he writes stories. They are good stories.The second thing I really liked about this book was it's historical perspective. Malamud is so single minded and grounded in his time that what you get here is a cross-section of Jewish/American culture from the first World War on into the late 70's. As the generations shift, the stories also shift and the city changes with them. In these stories Malamud is inextricably bound up with his place in time. What this books amounts to is a witness of that place. This is something that I found myself dwelling over, even after the stories had faded.This book has a lot to offer. I think you should get it. It's a good book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/131915058-the-complete-stories-fsg-classics-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.de/products/131915058-the-complete-stories-fsg-classics-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
