A review by teokajlibroj
The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon

3.0

The setting is original and interesting but the plot is an extremely cliched story about a washed up alcoholic cop, his best buddy partner, ex-wife, who gets suspended and uncovers a great conspiracy.

I really liked the culture, Yiddish and chess elements but to be honest I didn't really care what happened to the characters or what they did.

In case anyone is wondering, the Esperanto for pile of shit is probably fekaĵaro.
