Twenty stories from the Nobel Prizewinner, including "Disguised," a transvestite tale of the yeshiva student whose deserted wife finds him dressed as a woman and married to a man, and the title story, which portrays Methuselah at the age of 969 — "and when you pass your nine hundredth birthday, you are not what you used to be."
Nobel Prize-winner Singer's 10th collection of short stories demonstrates "the same vigor that he has shown throughout his long career" (New York Times) and reaffirms his place as an extremely popular and enduring author.
