Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he 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, pacifist, correspondent with Stephen Hawking and Ringo Starr. 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.

撕开《特别响,非常近》的塑料外套,随便翻翻,立刻就能发现这本书的“另类”——书中除了配有若干不怎么美观的插图,有几页只印了一句话,甚至还有一些空白页。很明显,这是一本在形式上有创新的小说。 作者乔纳森·弗尔是美国文学大师乔伊斯•卡罗尔•欧茨的高足,他的...

评分如果恰克•帕拉尼克能有迈克尔•夏邦的写作才能,并且运用那种独特的人物发展技巧,再作一些变形,加入一些悲伤事件,重写塞林格《麦田里的守望者》,也许他会写出《特别响,非常近》这样的杰作。只有这样夸,才能定义这本独特的书。时间进入21世纪第2个十年,现在说一本20...
