Cold Moon | Free Book
"A booster shot of wisdom when we need it most."—Alan Alda
"Cold Moon
knocked me on my ass then held out its hand and hauled me back up,
tossing me into the brawling fray, joyous and more hopeful than
ever." —Paul Harding, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of
Tinkers
The Cold Moon occurs in late December, auguring the
arrival of the winter solstice. Approaching the winter solstice of
his own life, Roger Rosenblatt offers a book dedicated to the three
most important lessons he has learned over his many years: an
appreciation of being alive, a recognition of the gift and power of
love, and the necessity of exercising responsibility toward one
another. In a rough-and-tumble journey that moves like the sea,
Rosenblatt rolls from elegy to comedy, distilling a lifetime of
great tales and moments into a tonic for these perilous and fearful
times. Cold Moon: a book to offer purpose, to focus the
attention on life’s essentials, and to lift the spirit.

Reviews
Rosenblatt's "memories of his life summon
ours, without warning or apology. Line by line, he helps us find
softer landings . . . We move on to now, in the throes of this
pandemic. He never mentions it, and yet he does . . . ‘Everybody
grieves.’ More memories, still raw. So many lost to this pandemic,
with many more to die . . . . Let us abide by Rosenblatt’s No. 3: We
are responsible for each other."—Washington Post
"In brief passages connected by association and with the
improvisational feel of jazz, [Rosenblatt] moves fluidly among memoir,
philosophy, natural history, and inspiration. . . . A tonic for tough
times filled with plainspoken lyricism, gratitude, and good humor."—Kirkus Reviews
"A dreamlike collage of memories—tearfilled, joyful . . .
unfailingly hopeful." —Foreword Reviews
"Cold Moon is a delight—just what we need in
these anxious, distracted times. Funny, touching, trenchant and
wise. . . . Better than deep breathing." —Alice McDermott
"By the sheer beauty of its language, and the
prevailing belief that we all are linked, our lives interlocked,
Cold Moon gives us essential truth in a time of untruth and
darkness. Roger Rosenblatt turns the idea of our shared existence
into a breathing life force."—Grace Schulman
