The Golem and the Jinni Resources

Helene Wecker's website is a better resource than a wish-granting jinni to get more information about the book.

Want to find other books like this one? Your wish is Harper Collins's command. They have info about the book, and future reading recommendations for you.

Wecker didn't just get inspiration for classical folklore, but from modern sci-fi, too. Beam her up.

The Golem and the Jinni was a working title for Wecker's book about a golem and a jinni. Turned out it was the perfect fit, so it stuck.

Wecker says she "accidentally" wrote a historical fantasy. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Who knew that there's a whole reading list of books about golems?

The New York Times loved this book, which is more than just a combination of folklore.

Wecker reads (say that five times fast) from her book and answers audience questions.

We might not have a The Golem and the Jinni movie (yet), but the next best thing is this short teaser trailer for the book.

If you wanted a book club discussion for this book, your wish has been granted.

Like one of tales from Arabian Nights, The Golem and the Jinni sounds like it was made to be read aloud.

Here's the arch at Madison Square visited by the Golem and the Jinni, as it looked in the early 1900s. We tried to spot the Jinni in the photo, but can't find him.

This Golem reproduction is a little less shapely than the hero of our story.
