Professor Wisse makes a number of errors here. The child born at the end of SHADOWS ON THE HUDSON is perhaps retarded, but certainly not 'deformed'. More importantly, her remarks about the absence of children at the climaxes of Singer's novels are blatantly incorrect, failing to take into consideration the ending of ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY.
