The Dyke and the Dybbuk with Ellen Galford

Sinister Wisdom’s event season will conclude with a celebration of a new Sapphic Classic: The Dyke & the Dybbuk by Ellen Galford. Originally published in 1993, The Dyke & The Dybbuk remains strikingly relevant today. Witty, satirical, and full of heart, The Dyke & The Dybbuk is a sharp comedy about religion, family, queer identity, and the absurdities of modern life. Join us to celebrate with Ellen Galford the re-release of this wonderful novel as a Sapphic Classic.
