The vividly told, gloriously illustrated memoir of an artist born with disabilities who searches for freedom and connection in a society afraid of strange bodies
โGolem Girlย is luminous; a profound portrait of the artist as a youngโand matureโwoman; an unflinching social history of disability over the last six decades; and a hymn to life, love, family,ย and spirit.โโDavid Mitchell, author ofย Cloud Atlas
What do we sacrifice in the pursuit of normalcy? And what becomes possible when we embrace monstrosity? Can we envision a world that sees impossible creatures?
In 1958, amongst the children born with spina bifida is Riva Lehrer. At the time, most such children are not expected to survive.ย Her parents and doctors are determined to "fix" her, sending the message over and over again that she is broken.ย That she will never have a job, a romantic relationship, or an independent life. Enduring countless medical interventions, Riva tries her best to be a good girl and a good patient in the quest to be cured.
Everything changes when, as an adult, Riva is invited to join a group of artists, writers, and performers who are building Disability Culture. Their work is daring, edgy, funny, and darkโit rejects tropes that define disabled people as pathetic, frightening, or worthless. They insist that disability is an opportunity for creativity and resistance. Emboldened, Riva asks if she can paint their portraitsโinventing an intimate and collaborative process that will transform the way she sees herself, others, and the world. Each portrait story begins to transform the myths sheโs been told her whole life about her body, her sexuality, and other measures of normal.
Written with the vivid, cinematic prose of a visual artist, and the love and playfulness that defines all of Riva's work,ย Golem Girlย is an extraordinary story of tenacity and creativity. With the author's magnificent portraits featured throughout, this memoir invites us to stretch ourselves toward a world where bodies flow between all possible forms of what it is to be human.
This audio production includes a PDF of illustrations and photographs from the book, which are also uniquely described aurally in the audiobook.
Priase for Golem Girl
โLehrerโs story is a revelation of an inner subjective lifeโfull of tragedy, love, and creativityโpushing against the external social stigmas, cultural narratives, and prejudices surrounding disability.ย She admits a felt kinship with other โmonstersโ because their bodies were alsoย โbuilt by human hands,โย but unlike them, she is her own purpose, her own meaning, her ownย unstoppable golem.โโStephen Asma, author ofย On Monsters: An Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears
