As the screenwriter who adapted Isaac Bashevis Singer's "Enemies, A Love Story" for the film with Angelica Huston and Ron Silver, I was pleased to see your short video with Mr. Singer as your representative of the best Jewish literature. He is arguably the greatest Jewish writer of the 20th Century and worthy of comparison to the great Russian authors like Tolstoy, Turgenev and so forth. I met him briefly on two occasions. He read and was pleased with the screenplay, which I considered an extraordinary honor. (He hated Streisand's version of Yentyl.). Unfortunately he died before the finished film was completed.
