- Award-winning author Joseph Skibell has again given us a brilliantly original look at the Jewish condition through the eyes of one man, Dr. Jakov Sammelsohn, a relentless seeker of love. Being pursued by an amorous dybbuk (the ghost of his first wife) does not make his life any easier. History and imagination collide as Sammelsohn meets the leading thinkers of the day at seminal moments in history. Author Roger Kamenetz says, “Skibell’s wit and comic invention are infused with a mystical perspective that embraces every dimension of the Jewish soul.” Joseph Skibell is the recipient of the 2011 Sami Rohr Prize Choice Award and a recipient of a Halls Fellowship, a Michener Fellowship and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.
