Book of the Week: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer https://englishbookgeorgia.com/blogebg/book-of-the-week-extremely-loud-and-incredibly-close-by-jonathan-safran-foer/ Thu, 19 Feb 2015 05:53:48 +0000 http://englishbookgeorgia.com/blogebg/?p=3442 Continue reading Book of the Week: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer ]]>

“Jonathan Safran Foer confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination.”

Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, and pacifist. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11.

An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone’s heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who’ve lost loved ones before.

As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity who are all survivors in their own way. He befriends a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, and lovers enraptured or scorned. Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father’s grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother’s apartment. They are there to dig up his father’s empty coffin.

  • Foer started writing his first novel, the critically acclaimed Everything is Illuminated, as part of his senior thesis at Princeton University, New Jersey.
  • The New Yorker magazine included Foer on its list of “20 Under 40,” young writers who were world-changers.
  • Foer became a vegetarian activist and wrote a satiric piece about cooking and eating dogs.

  • It’s impossible not to notice the similarities between the characters Oskar Schell (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) and Oskar Matzerath, the protagonist of Gunter Grass’s The Tin Drum. They’re both intelligent kids of German descent coping with trauma (Oskar M. never leaves home without his drum) who conjure up fantasies to deal with the horrible events they’ve witnessed. Foer was hugely influenced by this novel.
  • Jonathan Safran Foer gave the 2013 commencement address at Middlebury College in Vermont. NPR included it on its list of “The Best Commencement Speeches, Ever.”  Below, is the video of that speech:
