Dracula, the undead, and Not in the Same Breath

Josh Lambert of Tablet kindly mentioned the book in his On the Bookshelf column, calling it a "varied, clever collection." My friend Marc Caplan also gets a mention for his comparative study of African and Yiddish literatures. Buy his book too. 

While I'm at it, let me mention a sterling work of post-war American Jewish poetry, whose commodious ottava rima encompasses baseball, minyan, shofar, sex, and Derek Jeter with wit and charm. I refer, of course, to So Late Into the Night by the inimitable Elinor Nauen.
