I'll have to look that up!

Ansky's The Dybbuk (1920) is worth reading. There's a straight translation by Joachim Neugroschel I recommend, and a version/adaptation by Tony Kushner (A Dybbuk) I really like; the Klezmatics did the incidental music, later released as their album Possessed (1997). My novelette "The Dybbuk in Love" is in their tradition. And I don't think Andrew Eldritch knew Ansky from a hole in the head, but I have always associated "Lucretia, My Reflection" with dybbuks: two worlds and in between . . .
