Moon Palace
"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.

Stories last longer than men, stones than stories, stars than stones.
I'm reading Paul Auster's Moon Palace right now and there are times when it feels like he's describing a better novel than he's actually writing
