Acerca de esta escucha
Vancouver is the story Paul would tell if he were living in plague times - a story that comforts, a story that wards of evil. His story is about the giant that influenced his life, it's about the day the world changed, and it's about what happens when our giants come tumbling down.

Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. His mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He doesn’t know what happened to her—only that her books have been banned—and he resents that she cared more about her work than about him.

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.

Just be aware...
This rates a 3.5 from me. Like the previous entry in the series, I felt this one dragged a bit, only here it was in the second half. Earls is an exceptional writer, however, so the story remains engaging simply due to the strength of his skills. Listeners should be aware that this one has some production problems. There are awkward silences throughout; one 10 second-long dead air space had me checking to see if my phone had died. The narrator also consistently mispronounces one of the main character's names, Knut, despite the authors inclusion of the correct pronunciation, "noot," which the narrator then proceeds to ignore for the entirety of the novella. Get used to hearing "nut" a lot. Frustrating.
