Meet Rainbow Rosenbloom- a Jewish, lesbian taxi driver and film reviewer in London. Her life is upended when she is unexpectedly possessed by the dybbuk Kokos, a mischievous Jewish demon. After 200 years of exile, Kokos returns to a world utterly transformed and ready to make trouble as a dybbuk must. Confronted with late-stage capitalism, corporate culture, and computers, Kokos struggles to haunt with her old-world flair. As Kokos and Rainbow navigate this unfamiliar landscape together, an unlikely partnership forms: Kokos learns to survive in the modern age, and Rainbow comes to value her sarcastic, supernatural sidekick. Originally published in 1993, The Dyke & the Dybbuk remains strikingly relevant. Witty, satirical, and full of heart, The Dyke & the Dybbuk is a sharp comedy about religion, family, queer identity, and the absurdities of modern life. The Dyke & the Dybbuk will leave you laughing and thinking.
