"Przewrotny czarny kryminał osadzony w żydowskiej kolonii na zaśnieżonej Alasce! W okręgu Sitka, w którym przez sześćdziesiąt powojennych lat mieszkali i rządzili żydowscy uciekinierzy z nazistowskiej Europy i wygnańcy z Palestyny oraz ich coraz większe rodziny, dochodzi do tajemniczego morderstwa. Śledztwo prowadzi detektyw Landsman, a tropy wiodą do zdumiewającego spisku, wykraczającego daleko poza Alaskę i Amerykę. Zgodnie z klasycznymi regułami gatunku kryminał Chabona pełen jest zwrotów akcji, tajemniczych kobiet, gangsterów, strzelanin i miejsc będących czymś innym niż wydaje się na pierwszy rzut oka. Ale Chabon to pisarz na wskroś oryginalny, który te ramy wypełnia po swojemu, tworząc niepowtarzalną galerię postaci. Dowcipnie i ze swadą opowiada przy tym zarówno o niezwykłej kolonii Sitka, jak i o całym narodzie wybranym, przypominając przewrotnie, że robienie na złość sobie, innym i światu jest ulubioną rozrywką i dziedzictwem Landsmana oraz jego ludu."--

Work Description

The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a 2007 novel by American author Michael Chabon. The novel is a detective story set in an alternative history version of the present day, based on the premise that during World War II, a temporary settlement for Jewish refugees was established in Sitka, Alaska, in 1941, and that the fledgling State of Israel was destroyed in 1948. The novel is set in Sitka, which it depicts as a large, Yiddish-speaking metropolis.

The Yiddish Policemen's Union won a number of science fiction awards: the Nebula Award for Best Novel, the Locus Award for Best SF Novel, the Hugo Award for Best Novel, and the Sidewise Award for Alternate History for Best Novel. It was shortlisted for the British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novel and the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel.
