À propos de ce produit

Product Information

For sixty years, Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the Federal District of Sitka, a "temporary" safe haven created in the wake of revelations of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. Proud, grateful, and longing to be American, the Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant, gritty, soulful, and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. For sixty years they have been left alone, neglected and half-forgotten in a backwater of history. Now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end: once again the tides of history threaten to sweep them up and carry them off into the unknown. But homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. He and his half-Tlingit partner, Berko Shemets, can't catch a break in any of their outstanding cases. Landsman's new supervisor is the love of his life--and also his worst nightmare. And in the cheap hotel where he has washed up, someone has just committed a murder--right under Landsman's nose. Out of habit, obligation, and a mysterious sense that it somehow offers him a shot at redeeming himself, Landsman begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy. But when word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, Landsman soon finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, hopefulness, evil, and salvation that are his heritage--and with the unfinished business of his marriage to Bina Gelbfish, the one person who understands his darkest fears. At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, an homage to 1940s noir, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.

    Cynicism and Regret Feels Like the Weight of Heavy Snow

    Michael Chabon wins my vote as an author who brings the reader right into an environment that is foreign to them and makes true the physical sensations of weather, cleanliness,garlic, fear and more. Can you dream of a Jewish community in Alaska without the Chabon mind as the guide? Themattically a separate nation state being reclaimed; liives to be manipulated and discarded and even reclaimed; desolation and a fight for the unachievable is each a theme that is teased out of world history and then twisted to fit this alien setting as if it really did exist. It rings true enough, that I developed a map of the region in my mind. Then, when I read of a tunnel was dug under a street, I had a WOW moment. I could imagine it. The story of redemption interwoven with the story of diaspora ...

    Genre at its best, i.e. with feeling

    I’m not a fan of all of Michael Chabon’s books: I found The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay an absolute wonder, but The Mysteries of Pittsburgh overrated and boring. I approached The Yiddish Policemen’s Union with some anticipation (after all, writers are supposed to get better at their craft with time, aren’t they?) and, while not as delightful as Kavalier & Clay, it was quite an enjoyable read. A noir set in a dystopia, after all, is a very good starting point. What makes it remarkable is, above all, Chabon’s verbal inventiveness in a mock-Chandler tone of voice. Even if overdone at times (really, would anyone else have the guts to christen a secondary character, a four-foot-seven tribal inspector on a motorcycle, with the name of Willie Dick?), this voice draws the reader in and ...

    Fascinating Read

    This book was a very entertaining read. It was fascinating and informative on a couple of levels. First, it immerses the reader into Jewish and Alaskan life, as well as within the police department that keeps watch over this very conflicted community. Second, by reading this book one can learn a little about the Yiddish language and a great deal about the Jewish culture. The only drawback, if you can call it that, is that the reader will feel as if they are living in the cold harshnes of Alaska, which is a credit to the writer. The author had been recommended to me a few years ago and I am glad I finally got around to reading one of his books. I look forward to reading other books by Michael Chabon.

    The Yiddish Policemen's Union Review

    The Yiddish Policemen’s Union was a challenging read for me. I loved the essence of the story – a murder in the early pages carries the reader through a complex group of characters where the villain is not revealed until the final moments. The unknown world of chess and Jewish terminology and history made the book a bit more difficult for me to follow through some sections. Unfamiliar names and language idioms slowed me down through the heavier sections. The story of Landsman and Bina provides a secondary storyline throughout the book that shows the complex world in which any police investigator works – the balance between the professional obsession to solve a case and the need to have a relationship removed from that life. While this was a more challenging read for me than many books I ...

    A Classic Noir Tale with Literary and Imaginative Prose

    Michael Chabon's novel, "The Yiddish Policemen's Union," is complicated and literary, the kind of a book one would expect from a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. It is page-turning and poignant; a moving piece of English prose. Reading The Yiddish Policemen's Union is like "watching a gifted athlete invent a sport using elements of every other sport there is -- balls, bats, poles, wickets, javelins and saxophones." Although the book is classic noir, there are elements of an international terrorist thriller, complicated by religious conspiracy and a band of end-of-the-world hopefuls. The story begins with the introduction of a hung-over detective, Meyer Landsman, to a gun-shot corpse in a fleabag hotel. He becomes interested in the corpse, though he has enough dead bodies of his own: a ...
