"Steve Zipperstein's nuanced meditation helps to ensure that the literary genius of Isaac Rosenfeld, and the multiple lessons of his brief, exhilarating, but ultimately heartbreaking life, will not be soon forgotten."-Arnold Rampersad author of Ralph Ellison: A Biography
"Isaac Rosenfeld was a major critic and writer of the post World War II period, from Chicago by way of New York and Greenwich Village, whose first novel seemed to promise–as did the early novels of his close friend, Saul Bellow–that great things could be expected to follow. Alas, they did not, and Rosenfeld died young. Steve Zipperstein has reconstructed from what was left behind a fascinating story bringing to life the generation of Jewish writers and critics who emerged from what was still a Yiddish-speaking immigrant world. Rosenfeld''s Lives is a remarkable achievement."-Nathan Glazer, author of From a Cause to a Style
