Book Reviews of He, She and It
Book Review: A Golem Android In Dystopia
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an odd but intriguing book. It's odd because it's clearly SF but just as clearly not written by an SF writer. Piercy is a mainstream feminist with a strong grasp of characterization and (unlike, say, recent Tepper) the ability to communicate her politics without polemics and man-hating.
Anyhow, the novel is set mainly in a somewhat dystopic semi-near future, with a portion of the book alternating between the main story in the future and a retelling of the classical golem legend. In fact, the main story is quite clearly an adaption of the golem tale, not only in the notion of creating intelligent life, but in that creation being the defender of a shtetl-like town weathering a pogrom. The ending could be stronger, but the book holds up.
