Oh, I agree. I was at first delighted that Pratchett included golems in Discworld, but also a bit taken aback because there aren't any Jews.

Arrrgh, I was wrong. I went and searched on my ebook. Hero and Heroine do mull over the idea of golems when he first tells her the real reason for his current journey, but neither of them seems to know much about the topic:
----------------------------------
"... A golem maker?"

"I thought the secret of making golem had been lost centuries ago."

"So did everyone else."
----------------------------------
Kingfisher has had the idea of animated beings of various materials before - it's a major part of her Clocktaur Wars duology - so by the end of the story, I had forgotten that golems were indeed mentioned.

So yes, apologies to everyone, the term does come up.
