Set in the Jewish homeland of Alaska, this is a brilliantly original novel from Michael Chabon, author of The Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay and Wonder Boys.
What if, as Franklin Roosevelt once proposed, Alaska and not Israel had become the homeland for the Jews after the Second World War? In Michael Chabons Yiddishspeaking Alyeska, Orthodox gangs in sidecurls and knee breeches roam the streets of Sitka, where Detective Meyer Landsman discovers the corpse of a heroinaddled chess prodigy in the flophouse Meyer calls home. Marionette strings stretch back to the hands of charismatic Rebbe Gold, leader of a sect that seems to have drawn its mission statement from the Cosa Nostra. Meyer is determined to unsnarl the meaning behind the murder. Even if that means surrendering his badge and his dignity to the chief of Sitkas homicide unit his fearsome exwife Bina.
A novel of colossal ambition and heart, The Yiddish Policemens Union interweaves a homage to the stylish menace of 1940s film noir with a bittersweet fable of identity, home and faith.
