Moon Palace by Paul Auster

Moon Palace by Paul Auster

      
Marco Stanley Fogg is an orphan, a child of the sixties, a quester tirelessly seeking the key to his past, the answers to the ultimate riddle of his fate. As Marco journeys from the canyons of Manhattan to the deserts of Utah, he encounters a gallery of characters and a series of events as rich and surprising as any in modern fiction.

Beginning during the summer men first walked on the moon, and moving back and forward in time to span three generations, Moon Palace is propelled by coincidence and memory, marked by tragedy and redemption, and illuminated by marvelous flights of lyricism and wit. Here is the most entertaining and moving novel yet, from an author well known for his breathtaking imagination.
