Coens to adapt Chabon bestseller
The Coen brothers are to adapt author Michael Chabon's bestseller The Yiddish Policeman's Union for the big screen.
Joel and Ethan Coen will write and direct the Alaskan murder mystery, set in a fictional Jewish settlement, after Columbia Pictures acquired the rights.
The Coens' current film No Country for Old Men, which earned the brothers a Bafta for best director at the weekend, is nominated for eight Academy Awards. ...............

It's on my reading list for this Spring. I've loved everything I've read by Michael Chabon thus far - Summerland, Kavelier & Clay, and Wonder Boys. The last one made a fine movie as well.
i've not read anything by chabon. embarrassingly enough, i had not heard of him.
He won the Pulitzer Prize for Kavalier and Clay, which is essentially a novel about two Jews who escaped the holocaust and created comic book and radio superheroes. This is based on the true creators of some of those golden-age radio shows and comics which were used to motivate soldiers and civilians by depicting the fictional heroes fighting against Nazis alongside the Allied Forces. It was a fantastic novel, I thought.
i read the first ten pages. i'm impressed (and confused)
