Yakov Schechter confidently entered literature at the end of the 20th century, taking his place alongside S.-Y. Agnon and Isaac Bashevis Zinger. A distinctive feature of his prose - the search and opening of invisible links between a random word and its remote consequences - the area on the border of philology and theology. Sometimes it creates amazing collisions, parallels, and conflicts previously unknown to literature, and here Jacob Schechter is perhaps an innovator.
