Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Man Who Fall In Love with The Moon by Tom Spanbauer is a 1990s classic about sexuality, race and our relationships with ourselves.
What Alana Says: “The only novel that challenges Wuthering Heights for its place in my heart. It’s sensual, beautiful, combining the joy of living and love with the horror of loss. It’s sweet and bitter. Its form is very original, and it flows like a river. It’s the novel that I would have wanted to write and will never be able to.”
What They Say: “The miracle of the novel is that it obliges us to rethink our whole idea of narration and history and myth. . . Spanbauer captures the music of the mind and the body” – New York Times Book Review
