The Yiddish Policemen’s Union
I hadn’t ready any Michael Chabon yet, although I’ve heard about “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay”. I saw “Yiddish…” on the shelf and happen to be in the mood for a good alternate-history detective mystery so I picked it up. I then blasted through it in a day and a half. I’m a big fan of Raymond Chandler style detective fiction and this hit the spot with a nice genre background and yiddish humor.
The rest of his stuff is definitely going into the queue.
