mikaiya 's review for:
The Yiddish Policemen's Union
by Michael Chabon
I feel like this book was written exclusively for a Jewish audience. I really can't imagine enjoying it, or even understanding large swathes of it, without having a pretty strong background in Judaism, and a bit of Yiddish, and especially an understanding of the Jewish concept of messiah. That's a lot of background to have for a book that is ostensibly a standard US bestseller.
But who am I to say. Maybe if I were a Presbyterian from Nebraska, I'd still find it entertaining. The romance aspect was subtle but nice, and of course it's a good mystery. So make up your own mind- but if you do happen to be Jewish, then I highly recommend it.
