Homage to Raymond Chandler
The Yiddish Policeman’s Union by the American author Michael Chabon was reviewed on Saturday Review (Radio 4) by Tom Sutcliffe and guests: Susannah Clapp – theatre critic,
Howard Schuman – screenwriter and Amanda Vickery – historian . The story is written in the style of a noir thriller and is both a whodunit and an exploration of what it means to be in exile, and they felt it was an homage to OA Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. It imagines that the new state of Israel collapses and that Alaska is designated as a temporary safe haven for the Jews in 1948.
The Yiddish Policeman’s Union by Michael Chabon is published by Fourth Estate.
