恩,要不你会很后悔,我读了一半就有点读不下去,想了想都读了一半了放弃有点可惜才继续读完。首先这个小说和科幻半点关系都没有,不要被其得了星云奖所迷惑,也不要看有人贴了科幻标签,这个小说中的科幻内容就是0。这个小说确实是讲探案的,但里面没有什么悬疑或者逻辑推理,...
评分本书属于架空历史类型,但这里此书也没什么亮点,书中所描述的另一种历史没什么特色,除了犹太人跑到了阿拉斯加以外其他和我们所在的现实没什么区别(或者说此书并没有对这种区别做深入的描述)。此书最大的优点是语言,作者的行文很精彩,充满了幽默,让你在读的时候忍不住要...

评分Michael Chabon这鸟人整合类型小说的能力再次令人惊叹,冷硬,警察程序,科幻,政治,或然历史,喜欢以上几种的,这本小说基本都能够让你满意,相较之下,获得大大小小的奖项和提名也就不足为奇了.

For sixty years, Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the Federal District of Sitka, a "temporary" safe haven created in the wake of revelations of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. Proud, grateful, and longing to be American, the Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant, gritty, soulful, and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. For sixty years they have been left alone, neglected and half-forgotten in a backwater of history. Now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end: once again the tides of history threaten to sweep them up and carry them off into the unknown. </p>
But homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. He and his half-Tlingit partner, Berko Shemets, can't catch a break in any of their outstanding cases. Landsman's new supervisor is the love of his life—and also his worst nightmare. And in the cheap hotel where he has washed up, someone has just committed a murder—right under Landsman's nose. Out of habit, obligation, and a mysterious sense that it somehow offers him a shot at redeeming himself, Landsman begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy. But when word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, Landsman soon finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, hopefulness, evil, and salvation that are his heritage—and with the unfinished business of his marriage to Bina Gelbfish, the one person who understands his darkest fears. </p>
At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, an homage to 1940s noir, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written. </p>
2008年星云奖作品,文笔非常奇特。

评分读了有一年多了。开始没太看懂,接下来觉得跟科幻关系何在?作者到底在写什么?后来一点一点的宏大主题依次浮现。作者是用替换历史为工具来写犹太性。想象力,讲故事的能力……有理性,有感伤!
评分没法客观评价哈哈哈
