Publisher Description
A “beautiful and haunting” (San Francisco Chronicle) novel of an orphan’s search for love, for his unknown father, and for the key to the elusive riddle of his fate, from New York Times bestselling author Paul Auster
“Auster is a master storyteller . . . Moon Palace shimmers with mysteries.”—The Washington Post Book World
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 that men first walked on the moon, and from there moving backward and forward in time to span three generations, Moon Palace is propelled by coincidence and memory, illuminated by marvelous flights of lyricism and wit. Here is an entertaining and moving novel from an author well known for his breathtaking imagination.

Need a better copy
I am enjoying the book but have found it odd that my copy that I downloaded has the message COPY1 many times throughout the text and becomes distracting, even taking the place of other words. I am upset I have paid good money to not get what I paid for and will be looking into receiving a better version or my money back. Otherwise, this story is incredible and if this problem does not get resolved, I recommend buying it from a book store instead. Would get 5 stars but the "copy1" mistake is frustrating.
amazing
