Satan in Goray

The Yiddish Warsaw 1935 PEN Club edition is the true first in any language. For English, the US precedes the UK: Noonday Press, New York, 1955 comes ahead of the first UK edition, Peter Owen, London, 1958 (the source of the later Corgi paperback). Important correction for collectors: Satan in Goray is Singer's first book but not his first book in English — The Family Moskat (Knopf, 1950) preceded it, so 'first book' language applies only to the Yiddish original.
