Synopsis "Moonglow (in Spanish)"

En 1989, tras la publicación de su primera novela, Michael Chabonviaja a Oakland, California, para visitar a un abuelo gravementeenfermo. La presencia de la muerte inminente y el uso de medicamentosque le sueltan la lengua, provocan que el abuelo confiese historias de juventud que ponen al descubierto una parte desconcertante del pasado familiar.

Moonglow es la narración de recuerdos deguerra delirantes, de aventuras de sexo y matrimonio, de dudasexistenciales y la construcción de cohetes, en los inicios de ladiabólica carrera tecnológica estadounidense de la Guerra Fría. Es lahistoria del apasionado idilio entre el abuelo y una mujer misteriosa, rota por la experiencia traumática de una judía en la Franciaocupada. Chabon utiliza los recuerdos del abuelo, los reelabora y losordena, en un ejercicio de biografía ficcionada. Moonglow esuna autobiografía envuelta en una novela y disfrazada de memorias, que muestra el efecto destructivo -y a su vez el potencial podercreativo- de los secretos guardados a lo largo de toda unavida.
