Michael Chadon was asked:
"This is an awful question to ask a writer but if you were to
categorise The Yiddish Policemen's Union in a genre, which one would it
be?"

And he replied:

"I think it is very determinedly difficult to categorise. It's science
fiction, it's also mystery, it's also a love story, it's also I hope a
novel of serious literary ambition and maybe accomplishment. It's all of
those things at the same time, it's not one after the other, or
sometimes this and sometimes that."
