“From the small crossed window of his room above the stable in the brickyard, Yakov Bok saw people in their long overcoats running somewhere early that morning, everybody in the same direction.”
Bernard Malamud (April 26, 1914 – March 18, 1986) was an American novelist and short story writer. Along with Saul Bellow, Joseph Heller, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Norman Mailer and Philip Roth, he was one of the best known American Jewish authors of the 20th century. His baseball novel *The Natural* was adapted into a 1984 film starring Robert Redford. His 1966 novel *The Fixer* (also filmed), about antisemitism in the Russian Empire, won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize.
