The Yiddish Policemen's Union

Michael Chabon certainly has a vivid imagination. I must say that I pause more often than usual while reading The Yiddish Policemen's Union.  Some passages, usually descriptions of characters or settings, simply demand re-reading. The first paragraph of Chapter 16 is a pause-able moment.  Take a look!

My imagination is too limited to think up ideas such as Chabon's setting.  It is good to stretch.  Chabon stretches my imagination.  Unfortunately, I have to form my thoughts into questions to lead a discussion, and that keeps intruding on the imaginative setting.  Okay, let's rely on some discussion questions from the publisher and others:

I have not studied Jewish culture for over 20 years.  This book makes me think of days gone by and ideas that used to consume my days of graduate studies.  Thank you, Michael Chabon.
