Moonglow

von Michael Chabon

Moonglow unfolds as a deatGEBed confession. An old man, his tongue loosened by powerful painkillers, tells stories to his grandson, uncovering a history long buried. From the Jewish slums of pre-war South Philadelphia to the invasion of Germany, from a Florida retirement village to the penal utopia of a New York Prison, Moonglow collapses an era into a single life and a lifetime into a single week.
