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

5.0

I think I may have enjoyed this even a little bit more than 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay,' which is saying a lot. I loved how Chabon completely invented the world of Jewish Sitka, complete with it's own slang, Hasidic organized crime, and everything else. The writing was sharp and the characters interesting, and I could never tell what was going to happen next (which is a must for any good detective novel).
