Wooding doles out plot revelations with a generous hand, salting the whole with liberal amounts of mortal peril, but while the wonders and tension keep the pot bubbling merrily, it is the triangle between Rail, Moa, and the initially innocent golem that gives the book its deeper savor. The phanosphere teems with life (or more accurately, half-life), with the uncanny, between-life-and-death existence of the "animated" images that are Mitchell's special focus (the golden calf, the living statue, the golem, the clone). in an email to me she argues that the golem interested her on more levels than simply its Jewish reference; In addition, the Beyond the Pale reference invokes her personal history rather than a specific Jewish one, and the shaved hair, especially in the case of women, has always gestured historically towards outsider status, to penance and punishment, and not simply to Jewish prisoners. |
