Plague of Dreamers Three Novellas

"Steve Stern's fifth work of fiction, a collection of three novellas...is set in the Pinch, a backwater Memphis community that will be familiar to readers of his earlier books. Its inhabitants live in a richly textured state of suspended animation, defying history....[His] magical prose is peppered with vivid descriptions of a cast of merchants, rabbis, femmes fatales, golems, angels, butchers, grocers and dybbuks....In Steve Stern's universe, where survival is the magic the Jews have practiced for centuries, history can never die, and anything that can be imagined can be--and is--believed."Stern, Steve is the author of 'Plague of Dreamers Three Novellas', published 1997 under ISBN 9780815604532 and ISBN 081560453X.
