'Moonglow' by Michael Chabon, a blend of autobiography and fiction, unfolds as a deathbed confession of the author's grandfather--a tale weaving through madness, war, adventure, and love. As the old man's narrative takes the reader from pre-war Philadelphia slums to the invasion of Germany and the peaks of American space exploration, it reveals the weight of secrets and the potent force of lies. Chabon masterfully melds a lifetime of stories into a single narrative, crafting a poignant exploration of family myths and personal imagination.
