Cindie's Reviews > The Golem and the Jinni

I have never been a fan of Golem-stories, but this one was so engaging, I did not resist after the first few pages. It was one of the most original takes on so many of my favorite things (Old New York, Jewish culture, Middle Eastern culture, lots of food references). The fusion of genres (and such disparate, complex ones at that:horror, historical fiction, magical realism, romance) must have been very hard to pull off -- but I found this to be nearly free of showing-seams. Fun and thought provoking.
