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.

Pribeh se sice odehrava v alternativni casove linii, kdy Amerika prijala Zidy ve velkym na Aljasce, ale jinak je to spis detektivka. Zapletka v posledni tretine dost graduje a vlastne me zaujala. Knizka zpocatku trpela zbytecne okridlenym jazykem, casem si to sedlo.

Jako ok, ale znovu bych si to nedal.

It's more of detective story despite placed in alternative timeline where jews fled to Alaska. I've had hard times to cope with the superfluous language/too many words at beginning, but it calmed down a little after some hundred pages.

Not bad, not fantastic, read & forget.
