One Saturday night in Las Vegas, twelve-year-old Newell Ewing goes out with a friend and doesn't come home. In the aftermath of his disappearance, his mother, Lorraine, makes daily pilgrimages to her son's room and tortures herself with memories. Equally distraught, the boy's father, Lincoln, finds himself wanting to comfort his wife even as he yearns for solace, a loving touch, any kind of intimacy. As the Ewings navigate the mystery of what's become of their son, the circumstances surrounding Newell's vanishing and other events on that same night reverberate through the lives of seemingly disconnected strangers: a comic book illustrator; a painfully shy young artist; a stripper; a bubbly teenage wiccan anarchist; a scheming gutter punk; and a band of misfit runaways.

In this compelling narrative, a writer embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind his family's tragic past during World War II, blending memoir, reportage, mystery, and scholarly detective work. The story begins with a boy haunted by the disappearance of six relatives during the Holocaust, a topic that captivated him from childhood. Years later, after discovering desperate letters written to his grandfather in 1939 and hearing fragmented stories of betrayal, he seeks out the remaining eyewitnesses to his relatives' fates. This journey spans a dozen countries across four continents, revealing the painful discrepancies between lived history and the narratives we construct. Ultimately, it leads him back to the small Ukrainian town where his family's story began, where answers to a long-standing mystery await. The narrative deftly intertwines past and present, blending a world-spanning odyssey with childhood memories of a lost generation of immigrant Jews, alongside reflections on biblical texts and Jewish history. This exploration transforms a family's tale into a profound meditation on our tenuous connection to the past. Deeply personal and beautifully written, this literary work illuminates the themes of loss and discovery over time.

Bret Ellis, the narrator of Lunar Park, is a writer whose first novel Less Than Zero catapulted him to international stardom while he was still in college. In the years that followed he found himself adrift in a world of wealth, drugs, and fame, as well as dealing with the unexpected death of his abusive father. After a decade of decadence a chance for salvation arrives; the chance to reconnect with an actress he was once involved with, and their son. But almost immediately his new life is threatened by a freak sequence of events and a bizarre series of murders that all seem to connect to Ellis’s past. His attempts to save his new world from his own demons makes Lunar Park Ellis’s most suspenseful novel. In this chilling tale reality, memoir, and fantasy combine to create not only a fascinating version of this most controversial writer but also a deeply moving novel about love and loss, parents and children, and ultimately forgiveness.
