Moonglow by Michael Chabon is a "fictional memoir" where the narrator, a version of Chabon himself, visits his dying grandfather, a Jewish engineer and WWII veteran, who confesses wild, fantastical stories of his life, including espionage, a passionate but troubled marriage to a French Holocaust survivor, involvement in Operation Paperclip, and a life of crime, all while blurring the lines between truth, family lore, and the mythic history of the mid-20th century American experience. It's a sprawling, nonlinear narrative exploring love, trauma, secrets, and the search for meaning through a kaleidoscopic lens of American technological ambition (like the space race) and hidden histories.
