Trudno byt' chuzhim sredi lyudey, eshche trudnee byt' chuzherodnym. Kak osvoit'sya v neznakomoy strane, kak preodolet' neponimanie, odinochestvo i strah, kak nayti svoy put', nachat' novuyu zhizn'?.. V 1899 godu v N'yu-Yorke okazyvayutsya dva mificheskih sushchestva. Golem, sozdannyy iz gliny v zhenskom oblike, prizvan verno sluzhit' hozyainu, no teryaet ego po doroge v Ameriku, i vnezapnaya svoboda oborachivaetsya sushchim mucheniem. Dzhinna posle tysyacheletnego zatocheniya sluchayno vypuskaet na volyu zhestyanshchik iz n'yu-yorkskogo rayona Malen'kaya Siriya. Mogushchestvennyy duh pustyni, naproch' zabyvshiy proshloe, predshestvovavshee ego pleneniyu, bessilen v chelovecheskom tele i mechtaet vyrvat'sya iz etih okov. Ozhivshie personazhi drevnih predaniy ochen' odinoki, no odnazhdy noch'yu posredi opustevshego goroda ih puti peresekutsya... «Golem i Dzhinn» predstavlyaet soboy «metaforicheskuyu avtobiografiyu» — po priznaniyu avtora, roman osnovan na ee lichnoy istorii i ona vdohnovlyalas' skhodstvom mezhdu dvumya sem'yami, prinadlezhashchimi k razlichnym kul'turnym tradiciyam. V 2014 godu kniga byla udostoena Mifopoeticheskoy premii za luchshiy roman.
