Krátky popis
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 &,amp, Clay and The Yiddish Policemen’s Union. ‘The
world, like the Tower of Babel or my grandmother’s deck of cards,
was made out of stories, and it was always on the verge of
collapse.’ Moonglow unfolds as a deathbed confession. An old man,
his tongue loosened by powerful painkillers, his memory stirred by
the imminence of death, tells stories to his grandson, uncovering
bits and pieces of a history long buried. Why did he try to
strangle a former business partner with a telephone cord? What was
he thinking when he and a buddy set explosives on a bridge in
Washington, D.C.? What did he feel while he hunted down Wernher von
Braun in Germany? And what did he see in the young girl he met in
Baltimore after returning home from the war? From the Jewish slums
of pre-war 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 programme to the twilight of ‘the American
Century’, Moonglow collapses an era into a single life and a
lifetime into a single week.
