The Golem and The Jinni Blend Jewish and Muslim Folklore

from Imaginary Worlds Hosted by Eric Molinsky | Daylight Media

"The Golem and The Jinni" by Helene Wecker is one of my favorite novels in recent years. It's about two mythological characters meeting in late 19th century New York -- one from Arab culture and the other from Jewish folklore. The inspiration for the book came from real life.
