Here are the books mentioned in this week’s “What We’re Reading”: On this week’s podcast, Chabon talks about “Moonglow” Blanche Wiesen Cook discusses the third volume of her biography of Eleanor Roosevelt and Gregory Cowles and John Williams on what people are reading. Chabon has what sounds like a mostly true story to tell - about characters whose only names are “my grandmother” and “my grandfather,” and also about mental illness, snake hunting, the Holocaust and rocket science - and he may not have wanted to be bound too tightly by the constraints of literal accuracy in telling it. Michael Chabon’s new book is described on the title page as “a novel,” in an author’s note as a “memoir” and in the acknowledgments as a “pack of lies.” This is neither as confusing nor as devious as it might sound, since “Moonglow” is less a self-conscious postmodern high-wire act than an easygoing hybrid of forms. ![]()
