  8. The Siren's Call: Island in the city

    The novels of Richard Zimler shine compelling light on overlooked aspects of history &mdash; and along the way they provide plenty of myth and lore to delight any student of esoterica. "The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon" (2000), for instance, describes the mystical practices of 16th century kabbalists as it explores the plight of Jews in Inquisition-era Spain. Other novels of his, including "Guardian of the Dawn" and "Hunting Midnight," explore storylines that are like intriguing variations on what one finds in "Kabbalist." An occasional contributor to our pages in the past, Zimler also keeps his own Jewish heritage firmly focused in his stories.
