In The Golem and the Jinni, a chance meeting between mythical beings takes readers on a dazzling journey through cultures in turn-of-the-century New York. Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life to by a disgraced rabbi who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic and dies at sea on the voyage from Poland. Chava is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York harbor in 1899. Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire born in the ancient Syrian desert, trapped in an old copper flask, and released in New York City, though still not entirely free Ahmad and Chava become unlikely friends and soul mates with a mystical connection. Marvelous and compulsively readable, Helene Wecker's debut novel The Golem and the Jinni weaves strands of Yiddish and Middle Eastern literature, historical fiction and magical fable, into a wondrously inventive and unforgettable tale.

很喜歡作者娓娓道來的細膩手法，人物描寫的功力相當深厚，以1899年的紐約為背景，講述瞭Golem & Jinni這兩種超自然生物的喜怒哀樂，和無奈於融入人類世界的經曆。之所以給瞭四顆星，是因為對於我來說，故事發展較為緩慢，有時候給人boring的感覺。 Beautiful and charming fairytale about two unique creatures who struggled but still wish for and fought for happy life. People with different destiny affected each other then jointed the pieces together.
评分曼哈頓的巷子裏到底藏著多少隱士神魔？雖然主角們都不是常人，整個故事還是主要在描述100年前美國新移民的生活狀態。其實美國的全部活力都來自於新移民，反移民就是美國開始朽爛衰退的開始。
评分Beautifully written, exotic, moving and attractive I wonder if the Golem and Jinni are still hidden somewhere in the depth of the city, counting their everlasting time and watching their loved ones come and go yet return in the next life.
