Historia
It's a fear more paralyzing than falling. More terrifying than absolute darkness. More horrifying than anything you can imagine. It's the one fear you cannot escape, no matter where you run...no matter where you hide. It's the fear of yourself. It's real. It can happen to you. And facing it can be deadly.

Historia
For 60 years Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the federal district of Sitka, a temporary safe haven created in the wake of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. The Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. But now the district is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end.

On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley’s life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive, cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova - a man who hasn’t been seen in public for more than 30 years.

Historia
Moonglow unfolds as the deathbed confession, made to his grandson, of a man the narrator refers to only as "my grandfather". It is a tale of madness, of war and adventure, of sex and desire and ordinary love, of existential doubt and model rocketry, of the shining aspirations and demonic underpinnings of American technological accomplishment at midcentury, and, above all, of the destructive impact - and the creative power - of the keeping of secrets and the telling of lies.

Reseñas editoriales
Jill Ciment lives in New York, has a pet dachshund, and is married to an artist. This is also all part of the situation of her newest book, which has landed on Oprah's summer reading list. This tightly packed novel has three parallel plot lines, narrated with metropolitan charm by Elisabeth Rodgers. Alex and Ruth Cohen have been living in the same East Village apartment for almost five decades, and they have no idea how much it's worth, but they do know they are tired of climbing its five flights of stairs. They don't want to leave their neighborhood; they just want a place with an elevator.
Enter the real estate broker, by turns savvy and slimy, voiced by Rodgers with all the hilarious pomp and satire such a stereotype deserves. The Cohens are astounded to discover the asking price on their little apartment is a million bucks. They are also saddened to discover that their beloved dachshund, Dorothy, suddenly cannot use her hind legs. So the bulk of the story concerns the escalating stakes in the Cohens' pursuit of a situation that is better for their own legs and for Dorothy's.
As they rush back and forth between open houses and the surgical veterinary hospital, their progress is constantly interrupted by the fact that a suspected mad bomber is loose somewhere nearby. Rodgers does some very careful work with the tone here, as Ruth and Alex repeatedly find themselves sliding into awkward ethical dilemmas. As long as the terrorist is running amok, the offers on their apartment are getting larger. They must also decide whether to use a visit to Dorothy, recovering from her back surgery, as an excuse to outbid other prospective buyers. Some of the best bits here are when Rodgers narrates from the unique point of view of the cute little dog, a task more intricate and less cheesy than it sounds.
As the three plot lines converge, the narration gets ever more frantic. Will the bomber surrender? Will Dorothy ever walk again? Will the Cohens make enough money on the sale of their apartment to afford their dream apartment just a few blocks away? Rodgers constructs a very fine web of anxiety here, humanizing two of the most fundamental moral questions of our age that Ciment has neatly laid out: What would you do for a million dollars, and what wouldn't you do for just ten thousand more? —Megan Volpert
Resumen del Editor
New York City is on high alert: a gasoline truck is stuck in the Midtown tunnel and the driver has fled. Through panic and gridlock, Alex and Ruth must transport their beloved old dachshund, whose back legs are suddenly paralyzed, to the animal hospital, using a cutting board as a stretcher. But this is also the weekend when Alex and Ruth must sell the apartment in which they have lived for most of their adult lives.
Over the course of 48 hours, as the mystery of the missing truck driver terrorizes the city and the dachshund's life hangs in the balance, the bidding war over their apartment becomes a barometer for collective hope and despair. Told in shifting points of view - Alex's, Ruth's, and the little dog's - Heroic Measures is a moving, deft novel about urban anxiety and the love that deepens over years.

Edith, a recently retired legal librarian, and her identical twin sister, Kat, a feckless romantic who’s mistaken her own eccentricity for originality, discover something ominous in their hall closet: it seems to be phosphorescent, it’s a mushroom . . . and it’s sprouting from their wall.

In this close-up look at the ardent love affair between the author and her painting teacher, which began in the 1970s, when she was seventeen and he was forty-seven and married with two children, Ciment not only reflects on how their love ignited (who leaned in first for that kiss?) but interrogates her 1990s memoir on the subject, Half a Life. She asks herself if she told the whole truth when she wrote about their passion back then, and what truth looked like to her in the even longer-ago era of love-bead curtains when she fell in love.

This magnificent novel - which secured for its author the 1955 Nobel Prize in Literature - is now available to contemporary American audiences. Although it is set in the early 20th century, it recalls both Iceland's medieval epics and such classics as Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter. And if Bjartur of Summerhouses, the book's protagonist, is an ordinary sheep farmer, his flinty determination to achieve independence is genuinely heroic and, at the same time, terrifying and bleakly comic.

Quirky characters
The book was a commentary on aging sprinkled with sly observations about living in an urban area and the media’s empty-headed way of reporting breaking news. I did not like the pet relationship- I did not care about Dorothy at 12 yrs of age heroically saved. Why?
The struggle to find an affordable residence was timely even as its compressed timeline made it unbelievable. The happy ending was frankly corny and predictable.
