Críticas:
"Elegiac and deeply poignant ... Chabon weaves these knotted-together tales together into a tapestry that's as complicated, beautiful and flawed as an antique carpet.... Chabon is one of contemporary literature's most gifted prose stylists.... In Moonglow, he writes with both lovely lyricism and highly caffeinated fervor."--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

"An exuberant meld of fiction and family history.... It's the caliber of his writing-evocative sentences and indelible metaphors-that gives the novel its luster.... Moonglow prisms through a single life the desires and despair of the Greatest Generation, whose small steps and giant leaps continue to shape us all."--Hamilton Cain, O Magazine

"Mix[es] in generous dollops of meaning, a sprinkling of fancy metaphors and an abundance of beautiful sentences so that it becomes a rich and exotic confection. Too strict a recipe would have spoiled the charm of this layer cake of nested memories and family legends.... This book is beautiful."--A.O. Scott, New York Times Book Review, cover review

"Like The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Wonder Boys, and especially The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, this is classic Chabon: an intensely personal story uplifted by the shifting tectonic plates of truth and memory, floating atop his inimitably crafted, sometimes audacious, always original prose."--Jon Foro, The Amazon Book Review, Spotlight Pick

"An often rollicking, ultimately moving read. And like the song, it's liable to stay with you."--Heller McAlpin, NPR.org

"His prose is as luminous as ever."--Entertainment Weekly

"A story as much about the art of storytelling as it is about family, history, and the 20th century, Moonglow is a dazzling achievement."--Buzzfeed

"Vibrant.... A feast for fans of the Pulitzer winner's magical prose."--Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly

"Michael Chabon fills this dashing, Technicolor tribute to his grandfather's generation with outsize mythology. Space travel and sorcery are just two of the novel's wondrous themes. The book, his best yet, cements his place in the front of American writers."--Best Book of the Year, The Wall Street Journal

"An exercise in exploring the slippery nature of truth, memory and what makes a compelling story. Are stories 'just names and dates and places [that don't] add up to anything?' like Grandpa suggests? Or are they, instead, something more illusive, more aching, more mysterious and meaningful. In terms of Moonglow, it's definitely the latter."--Alexis Burling, San Francisco Chronicle

"This book is beautiful.” A.O. Scott, New York Times Book Review, cover review

Following on the heels of his New York Times bestselling novel Telegraph Avenue, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon delivers another literary masterpiece: a novel of truth and lies, family legends, and existential adventure—and the forces that work to destroy us.

In 1989, fresh from the publication of his first novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Michael Chabon traveled to his mother’s home in Oakland, California, to visit his terminally ill grandfather. Tongue loosened by powerful painkillers, memory stirred by the imminence of death, Chabon’s grandfather shared recollections and told stories the younger man had never heard before, uncovering bits and pieces of a history long buried and forgotten. That dreamlike week of revelations forms the basis for the novel Moonglow, the latest feat of legerdemain from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon.

 Moonglow unfolds as the deathbed confession of a man the narrator refers to only as “my grandfather.” It is a tale of madness, of war and adventure, of sex and marriage and desire, of existential doubt and model rocketry, of the shining aspirations and demonic underpinnings of American technological accomplishment at midcentury, and, above all, of the destructive impact—and the creative power—of keeping secrets and telling lies. It is a portrait of the difficult but passionate love between the narrator’s grandfather and his grandmother, an enigmatic woman broken by her experience growing up in war-torn France. It is also a tour de force of speculative autobiography in which Chabon devises and reveals a secret history of his own imagination.

 From the Jewish slums of prewar South Philadelphia to the invasion of Germany, from a Florida retirement village to the penal utopia of New York’s Wallkill prison, from the heyday of the space program to the twilight of the “American Century,” the novel revisits an entire era through a single life and collapses a lifetime into a single week. A lie that tells the truth, a work of fictional nonfiction, an autobiography wrapped in a novel disguised as a memoir, Moonglow is Chabon at his most moving and inventive.
