Description

The inspiration for the Oscar-nominated film of the same name starring Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, and Max von Sydow, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is the story of Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, and pacifist. He is nine years old, and he is on an urgent search through the five boroughs of New York City, hoping to find the lock that fits a mysterious key that belonged to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on September 11. This second novel by the author of Everything Is Illuminated (winner of the Guardian First Book Prize and National Jewish Book Award) includes photographs, unusual text layouts, and even editor's marks. "Jonathan Safran Foer's second novel is everything one hoped it would be—ambitious, pyrotechnic, riddling, and above all, in its portrayal of orphaned Oskar, extremely moving. The powerful emotions generated feel deserved, not borrowed. An exceptional achievement."—Salman Rushdie
