The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon --At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, an homage to 1940s noir, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, this is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written. He won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for fiction with The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.
The Ministry of Special Cases by Nathan Englander--This first novel is a timeless story of fathers and sons told with exuberant wit and invention, a cosmic sense of the absurd, and a genius for balancing joyfulness and despair. Through the devastation of a single family, Englander captures the grief of a nation.
