Shosha is a novel by Nobel Prize winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer. The original Yiddish version appeared in 1974 in the Jewish Daily Forward under the title Neshome ekspeditsyes (Soul Expeditions).

The main character is aspiring author Aaron Greidinger who lives in the Hasidic quarter of the Jewish neighborhood of Warsaw during the 1930s: "I was an anachronism in every way, but I didn't know it, just as I didn't know that my friendship with Shosha [..] had anything to do with love."

First Sentence

"I WAS brought up on the three dead languages-Hebrew, Aramaic, and Yiddish (some consider the last not a language at all)-and in a culture that developed in Babylon: the Talmud."
