Description
A powerful and propulsive novel that defies genre boundaries. Michael Chabon's Moonglow is a deathbed confession, as an old man recounts stories to his grandson, uncovering fragments of a history long buried. The world, it seems, was made out of stories, and this book is a testament to their enduring power. Spanning decades and continents, Moonglow weaves together disparate threads of experience, from the Jewish slums of pre-war Philadelphia to the invasion of Germany, and from the Florida retirement village where he spent his later years to the penal utopia of a New York prison. Through its masterful storytelling, Moonglow collapses an era into a single life, and a lifetime into a single week. This is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
