This book was hilarious. I started reading it only because it was assigned to me for a class, but i quickly fell in love. Galford expertly weaves Jewish folklore with corporate nonsense and questions of identity. Having read S.Ansky’s “The Dybbuk,” and several other dybbuk tales, I found it really interesting to read a novel from the perspective of the dybbuk itself (a feminist one nonetheless).
