Michael Chabon (b. 1963) is an acclaimed and bestselling author whose works include the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (2000). Chabon achieved literary fame at age twenty-four with his first novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (1988), which was a major critical and commercial success. He then published Wonder Boys (1995), another bestseller, which was made into a film starring Michael Douglas. One of America’s most distinctive voices, Chabon has been called “a magical prose stylist” by the New York Times Book Review, and is known for his lively writing, nostalgia for bygone modes of storytelling, and deep empathy for the human predicament.

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. </p>

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. </p>

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. </p>

Michael Chabon这鸟人整合类型小说的能力再次令人惊叹,冷硬,警察程序,科幻,政治,或然历史,喜欢以上几种的,这本小说基本都能够让你满意,相较之下,获得大大小小的奖项和提名也就不足为奇了.

“人类一计划,上帝就发笑”,读到这一句,我也想发笑,哈哈。同时,书里的幽默可见一斑,书的翻译是蛮到位而且时不时有妙点冒出。我想,原著一定也是充满了许多不动声色的幽默与诙谐。 《犹太警察工会》,读到1/3,忍不住想写点读感。书名有“工会”字样,可到现在无工会之实...

读了有一年多了。开始没太看懂,接下来觉得跟科幻关系何在?作者到底在写什么?后来一点一点的宏大主题依次浮现。作者是用替换历史为工具来写犹太性。想象力,讲故事的能力……有理性,有感伤!

开始挺有意思的 后来就昏昏欲睡了 高铁上匆匆翻完的

写得很差,盛名之下,其实难副。

断断续续花了两三个月才读完。至少在前一半我一直处于WTF?! Is it a sci-fi or detective story 的困惑中,中间去看了部关于以色列的纪录片才ease up,语言和措辞非常有趣,但的确不是轻松的阅读体验
