And I've searched the holy books and I've dog-eared every page

[sovay]

As part of the upcoming release of People of the Book: A Decade of Jewish Science Fiction and Fantasy, my novelette "The Dybbuk in Love" now appears online at Tor.com. It is about precisely what it sounds like: it was written in the summer of 2004, in memory of my grandmother, Bernice Madinek Glixman; it is also dedicated to Michael Zoosman for Menachem. The music is the Klezmatics' Possessed (1997) and Jill Tracy's Quintessentially Unreal (1995). Think of it as an extra Hanukkah gift. I am off to a doctor's appointment, where I hope to encounter no more possessing spirits than the usual.

*****AWESOME!!*******

I'm totally going to free-rider on over there and READ IT. I've been yearning after the rest of that story ever since you read the first part in July.

I just now read it. I loved it--loved it for the language, but even more for the longing. More anon by e-mail.

But Amazon calls it "Temporarily Unavailable--Out of Stock"--they don't do well with Prime Books. . .and this is a title that should be in libraries, public and synagogue.

[oldcharliebrown.livejournal.com]

It means that they sold out of the stock they had ordered. Amazon's initial order is to fill advance orders, and they don't usually order past that. (Unlike chain stores). Which means books will list temporarily as out of stock, until additional units arrive.
