5/21/2023 0 Comments Moonglow by Michael ChabonThere's also the almost de rigueur intersection of family history with important historical events - in this case, the sinister trajectory of Wernher von Braun, the Nazi aerospace engineer who eluded prosecution for his war crimes and later played a key role in the U.S. Moonglow, a playful twist on the family memoir, slyly incorporates classic elements of the genre, including a deathbed confession and the revelation of a long-hidden, dark family secret. But he is far more than just an elegant stylist: Chabon is an adventurous writer who wields his gorgeous - and occasionally over-the-top - prose in the service of lively narratives that channel various genres - comics, detective, picaresque, historical - often in combination, as in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and The Yiddish Policeman's Union. Michael Chabon turns out more beautiful sentences in a single novel than some writers produce in a lifetime. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
