入圍1997年美國國家書卷獎決選名單

茹絲.帕特麥斯隻身一人住在紐約市,對她而言,法學研究就是一切,愛情在生命中所佔的比例不過微乎其微。然而令人感到不安的是,茹絲此生最大的空想如今極可能成真。渴望能有個女兒的茹絲,決定立刻行動,在不假手他人的情況下獨自完成這個計劃。她依照古老猶太神話中的人造人,製作了有史以來第一個女泥人,並藉由泥人的協助當選紐約市市長。接著,茹絲竟不智地開始思考來生這個問題……


Ruth Puttermesser lives in New York City. Her learning is monumental; her love life is minimal. And her most idle fantasies have a disconcerting tendency to come true. She yearns for a daughter and promptly creates one, unassisted, in the form of the first recorded female golem - a Jewish mythological homunculus. She also manages to get herself elected mayor. Then Puttermesser inadvisably contemplates the afterlife, whereupon she is immediately hurtled into it headlong and discovers, at the end of it all, that a paradise found is also paradise lost.


------------------------- Excerpt -------------------------

Dear Ruth:
I know you won't believe this but I swear it's true the other day Papa was walking on the Avenue and who should he run into but Mrs. Zaretsky, the thin one from Burnside not the stout one from Davidson, you remember her Joel? Well he's divorced now no children thank God so he's free as a bird as they say his ex the poor thing couldn't conceive. He had tests he's O.K. He's only an accountant not good enough for you because God knows I never forget the day you made Law Review but you should come down just to see what a tender type he grew into. Every tragedy has its good side Mrs. Zaretsky says he comes down now practically whenever she calls him long distance. Papa said to Mrs. Zaretsky well, an accountant, you didn't over educate your son anyhow, with daughters it's different. But don't take this to heart honey Papa is as proud as I am of your achievements. Why don't you write we didn't hear from you too long busy is busy but parents are parents.

Puttermesser had a Jewish face and a modicum of American distrust of it. She resembled no poster she had ever seen: she hated the Breck shampoo girl, so blond and bland and pale-mouthed; she boycotted Breck because of the golden-haired posters, all crudely idealized, an American wet dream, in the subway…
