The color of his eyes had not changed, neither their depth nor
their focus; his voice was as relaxed and nasal as the first time
he spoke to her in the library. But he was looking through his eyes
now, not with them: panes of stonewashed stained glass, and she
said, dead-end recognition, Menachem. Something like ice and brandy
sunfished up into her throat, sluice and burn past her heart; she
put it from her, as she had weeks ago put away her surprise.
Wondering for how long this time, she gave her greeting to this new
face. I was wondering when youd turn up. Dybbuk: plural, dybbuks or
dybbukim; from the Hebrew levadek, to cling or cleave. In Eastern
Europe, at the end of the nineteenth century, a restless spirit
that possesses a living person until exorcised. On the East Coast,
at the beginning of the twenty-first, a dead man with a thousand
faces and a single desire . . .
