"Gimpel the Fool" (1953) is a short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer, translated into English by Saul Bellow in 1953. It tells the story of Gimpel, a simple bread maker who is the butt of many of his town's jokes. It also gives its name to the collection first published in 1957. David Roskies has put forward the view that the story constitutes a modernist revision of a story by Nachman of Bratslav.〔http://singer100.loa.org/life/commentary/roundtable/transcript/?clip=2〕 ==The Collection== The 1957 collection contains the following stories: * ''Gimpel the Fool'' * ''The Gentleman from Cracow'' * ''The Wife Killer'' * ''By the Light of Memorial Candles'' * ''The Mirror'' * ''The Little Shoemakers'' - Tells the tale of a long line of modest shoemakers in Frampol.
