The Tigard Library Evening Book Group invites readers to discuss The Yiddish Policemen’s Union on Wednesday, October 28, at 7 p.m. Pulitzer prize-winning author Michael Chabon imagines a world where Alaska, not Israel, became the homeland for the Jews after World War II.
In this world, Detective Meyer Landsman and his half-Tlingit partner Berko Shemets investigate the death of a heroin-addicted chess prodigy. Publisher’s Weekly describes the novel as “a murder-mystery speculative-history Jewish-identity noir chess thriller.” The Evening Book group meets the 4th Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm in the Grace Tigard Houghton Room on the 2nd Floor....new memebers are always welcome!
