Monthly - Michael Shebon (9786170962553)

Moonlight is a masterpiece from Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon: a novel about truth and lies, family lore, incredible adventures, and the forces that seek to humiliate and destroy us. The narrator, the author's younger self, travels to Oakland, California, to visit his terminally ill grandfather, who remains unnamed in the novel. The novel unfolds as a series of confessions from this strong, courageous but withdrawn man, whose mind is agitated by the nearness of his inevitable death and powerful analgesics.
