en-wikipedia-org-6075		Isaac Bashevis Singer - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	8000	1009	73	Isaac Bashevis Singer (Yiddish: יצחק באַשעװיס זינגער‎; November 11, 1903[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] – July 24, 1991) was a Polish-American writer[8][9][10] in Yiddish,[11] awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978.[12] The Polish form of his birth name was Icek Hersz Zynger.[13] He used his mother's first name in an initial literary pseudonym, Izaak Baszewis, which he later expanded.[14] He was a leading figure in the Yiddish literary movement, writing and publishing only in Yiddish. The exact date of his birth is uncertain, but most probably it was November 11 a date similar to the one that Singer gave both to his official biographer Paul Kresh,[17] his secretary Dvorah Telushkin,[18] and Rabbi William Berkowitz.[19] The year 1903 is consistent with the historical events that his brother refers to in their childhood memoirs, including the death of Theodor Herzl.
