Michael Chabon

I think he's one of the best writers alive.

The Coen brothers are supposed to be making The Yiddish Policeman's Union in the near future.

I read the Amazing Adventures of Kavelier and Clay and enjoyed it for the most part. Been meaning to get back to that author. What would you recommend by him?

 

[St. Stephen]

The Yiddish Policemen's Union. It's an alternative history/detective novel. The Jews are given Alaska in 1948 after Israel collapses.

Thanks! Sounds interesting. I haven't read many alternative history stories, the only one I can think of is Phillip Roth's The plot against America, which I liked.
When I get back to Chabon, I'll grab this one.
