The Sun and the Moon by Matthew Goodman
In 1835, the New York Sun, the first of the city's 'penny papers', perpetrated one of the greatest hoaxes of all time when it convinced the people of New York that the moon was inhabited. This work tells the remarkable story of the outrageous newspaper hoax that captivated 19th century America and gave birth to tabloid journalism.
Matthew Goodman's fiction and non-fiction writing has appeared in many magazines and literary journals in America. A lifetime New Yorker, he lives in New York City with his wife and children.
