Manuscripts in the Shub papers include the translator's working drafts of Singer's novels The Estate and Enemies: A Love Story, which Shub also edited, as well as his children's stories Alone in the Wild Forest, Elijah the Slave, The Fools of Chelm and Their History, The Topsy-Turvy Emperor of China, Why Noah Chose the Dove, and The Wicked City. Two of Singer's short stories for adults, "A Friend of Kafka" and "Powers," are also present, as are a collection of short stories, The Image and Other Stories, and an essay on Hasidism. Most of the manuscripts are typescripts with handwritten corrections by both Shub and Singer, showing the collaborative nature of the translations.
