Clay Men

At the Guardian Imogen Russell Williams reflects on the allure of the golem, considers a few titles, and asks for more. Off the top of my head, here are three:

  1. Jonathan Stroud’s The Golem’s Eye.
  2. David Almond’s Clay.
  3. David Wisniewski’s Golem.

    There’s “The Golem” by Barbara Rogasky, with wonderful illustrations by Trina Schart Hyman.

    Marge Piercy’s He, She and It features a golem as one of the central characters, if I remember correctly.
