The Yiddish Policeman's Union!

I LOVE this book. I'm not sure if they are the perfect fit for the material but I think they're good enough! Can't wait to see this one.

I have it but haven't finished it. Chabon is one of my favorites, and the Coens... well, are the Coens.

I liked Curtis Hanson's adaptation of Wonder Boys. Part of it didn't work for me (the narration maybe?), but I loved it all the same.

Really? The narration didn't work for you? I love narration in prety much anything so maybe I'm just biased. Haven't read Wonder Boys yet but I certainly loved that movie! I just finished my Chabon collection. Have you read The Final Solution yet? Another great one...

A film noir about Jews who live in a cold climate? What about that strikes you as an imperfect fit for the Coens? :D
