The Final Solution: A Story of Detection (P.S.)

Rating: 8

Interesting little tale with a fitting play on words, considering the setting of World War II London.

This somewhat recent—and short—offering from one of this generation’s finest was tightly spun. But as Chabon himself said in current interviews about THE YIDDISH POLICEMEN’S UNION, he tends to overwrite. At 113 pages or so, I can imagine this book would have been shorter with a more relentless swipe at the prose.

I still enjoyed this little book. A lot.

I can’t wait to read TYPU.
