Klappentext The keeping of secrets and the telling of lies; sex and desire and ordinary love; existential doubt and model rocketry - all feature in the new novel from the author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and The Yiddish Policeman's Union. Moonglow unfolds as a deathbed confession. An old man! tongue loosened by powerful painkillers! memory stirred by the imminence of death! tells stories to his grandson! uncovering bits and pieces of a history long buried. From the Jewish slums of prewar South Philadelphia to the invasion of Germany! from a Florida retirement village to the penal utopia of a New York Prison! from the heyday of the space program to the twilight of "the American Century!" Moonglow collapses an era into a single life and a lifetime into a single week. A lie that tells the truth! a work of fictional non-fiction! an autobiography wrapped in a novel disguised as a memoir! Moonglow is Chabon at his most daring and his most moving.
