...based on love rather than law, which in some ways foreshadows today's "situation ethics" (TIME, Jan. 21). His most radical and prophetic ideas Bonhoeffer explored in the letters he wrote from Berlin's Tegel prison to his friend and fellow pastor, Eberhard Bethge. These reveal the vision of a new kind of secular Christianity, preaching the Gospel of Jesus, "the man for others," using a "nonreligious interpretation of Biblical concepts...
...were sensual." Adds Marini: "I always begin sculpting by painting-afterward the colored image remains in my mind, so then I have to add color to the sculpture." His paintings presage his excursions into solid stuff, explaining in their strong chromaticism Marini's expressionist sculpture. In pursuing his vision, Marini took his equestrians on a strange course through the steeplechase of time. At first, he made his man and horse strain as one being toward a high point of joy.

Dipping his pen in an inkwell of wonders, he has drawn out, in his demonic, forceful fiction (The Family Moskat, The Magician of Lublin, Short Friday), a fantastic and various vision of Eastern Europe's vanished Jewry. His work has already commandingly established him as the greatest living master of Yiddish prose and as one of the enduring leaders among U.S. novelists. Now 61, he has issued a memorable memoir of his Polish boyhood-a group of brief, incidental sketches that Singer first wrote...
