Publisher Comments:

In The Yiddish Policemen's Union, his first major novel since the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Michael Chabon delivers a gripping whodunit, a love story, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption.

This special limited first edition is personally signed by the author and numbered. The jacketed hardcover is packaged in a handcrafted wooden slipcase which is shrinkwrapped. A must-have for collectors.

Delightful, evocative and provocative title. It takes you back to the past of the Yiddish-speaking world in Europe and yet makes you want to look at what might have been in the future.
