Matthew Cheney brings first-time novelist Yellin to our attention: "The Genizah at the House of Shepher is written with extraordinary control and precision, and is fascinating--a story of a lost mystical manuscript, families, religion, scholarship, life, death, and lots of other good stuff. In Februrary 2006, Toby Press is publishing Kafka in Bronteland and Other Stories, Yellin's first collection. I've read some of these stories, and they are stunning--evocative, resonant, and beautifully written. It will be one of the most interesting collections of the year, I'm sure."
