A Note on the Author
Andrew Smith is English, although he was born in New York and lived in California until he was in his early teens. He watched the Moon landings on TV in his San Francisco home. He has worked for the Melody Maker, The Face, the Sunday Times, and the Observer, where he has written on the KLF, death row, Damien Hirst, Jeff Bezos, Bianca Jagger and much, much more. He currently lives in Norfolk, in the east of England.
Further praise for Moondust:
‘Wonderful … This is a fascinating book, often poignant but funny too’ Daily Mail
‘Smith navigates the contours of our love affair with space … Moondust is an inspired idea, immaculately executed: witty, affectionate, completely captivating’ Word
‘This book is something different … As an update on the nine surviving astronauts it is fascinating. As a commentary on life on Earth, it is superb’ Scotland on Sunday
‘Compelling and beautifully written … this exceptional account of a remarkable time is recommended to anyone interested in space, politics or how historic events change people’ Waterstone’s Books Quarterly
‘A gripping read’ Mail on Sunday
‘Smith’s mission – gloriously realised in this spellbinding book – is to seek out the last nine and discover how the decades have treated the only humans to have walked on another world’ Observer
‘Smith is a graceful, easy-going writer, and this beguiling tale is replete with joyful wonder. What’s more, he has something witty to say in almost every paragraph’ Sunday Times
‘Spellbinding … a provocative meditation on lunar travel and humanity’s reaction to space, pondering such themes as space art, quantum mechanics, New Age religion, UFOs, Star Trek, and his own childhood memories’ Business Week
‘Utterly gripping … Smith is both sympathetic and bracingly unsentimental. But he also does an excellent job at rekindling the sheer fascination of that period … intriguing, startling, funny, and yet also somehow profoundly moving’ Daily Telegraph
