I read The Yiddish Policemen's Union earlier this year and that was probably my favorite book I read in 2024 at the time. Happy to say that this book gives YPU a serious run for its money.
It's hard to succinctly summarize how I felt about this. I haven't read a lot of books that have so many layers, so many expertly woven themes. Like YPU, I'm glad I read this now rather than when I first noticed it at my hometown public library. I don't think I would have fully understood or appreciated it at the time.
