BIG News
You should have received an email inviting you to be beta readers. I have several now, but if you still want that opportunity, email me, I’d love another voice on the project.

I have had further opportunities to pursue grants. It is frankly terrifying. It is a lot of detailed work for the “privilege” of administering someone else’s money that all must be accounted for, especially if the project tanks. As if I don’t get to enjoy it enough when projects tank with nothing else on the line.
I’d love it if you share interesting things that YOU are reading or doing. Send me a message about a great book you’ve just read or something else that other UF fans are likely to geek out about, and I’ll share it with my newsletter. BE SURE to sign the email the way you want your name to appear. Otherwise, I’ll make it anonymous.
Don’t hesitate to hit me up with suggestions or complaints and the like.

The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon
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 the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. The Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. But now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end.
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. And in the cheap hotel where Landsman has washed up, someone has just committed a murder–right under his nose. When he begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy, word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, and Landsman finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, evil, and salvation that are his heritage.
At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.
