    Abstract

    The Yiddish Policemen’s Union (2007) partakes in two literary genres: harboiled fiction and uchronia. In the following article, I offer a series of observations on how Michael Chabon updates both genres in his last novel. Through a close reading, I compare literary uchronia with its historiographical counterpart —alternative history. Finally, I examine Chabon’s historical criticism of one of the most relevants movements of late modernity: Cultural Zionism. My reading is informed by Daniel Fondanèche’s Paralittératures, Niall Ferguson’s Virtual History and Pierre Nora’s Les lieux de mémoire.
