The Yiddish Policeman's Union by Michael Chabon

Let's see.

It won loads of awards.

It probably deserved them.

I admired it's literary qualities without actually enjoying the book.

It deals with the plight of man in a cold universe.

It is full of elaborate literarary metaphors.

I've read it and returned it to the library.

It's just one of those books. Admirable, but not my cup of tea.
