What’s Up With the Title?

This book is called The Golem and the Jinni, which means it's about a Golem and a Jinni. Go figure, right? You don't get much simpler than this. Alternate titles found on the editing floor, like The Rabbi's Friend Made from Clay and The Tinsmith's Supernatural Apprentice or Jewish Mysticism Meets a Genie Who Doesn't Grant Wishes just don't roll of the tongue the same way.
