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.

评分我喜欢奥斯卡•谢尔可。他就比我的宝贝大一点。如果可以,我希望我的孩子像他那么聪明。那么,有能力来想象无限。 奥斯卡常常在脑子里发明各种奇妙的事物。 比如,他发明了一种鸟食衬衫,这样人类在需要逃生时就可以飞了。这其实是为了他爸爸发明的。他还发明了一种像魔方一...
评分撕开《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...
评分这本精彩的小说从第一页就吸引了我:“要不发明一种茶壶?茶壶嘴在冒热气的时候能够张开,合上,所以它能变成一张嘴,然后它能吹出好听的调调,或者演出莎士比亚,或者只是和我一起哈哈大笑。我可以发明一个能够用爸爸的声音阅读的茶壶,这样我就能睡着了。”这本书的结尾,比...

评分我觉得压缩到现在的一半长会更好。情节其实很简单,即使叙事方式不断变化,简单的情节也撑不起那么长一本书,现在有一点滥情之嫌。
评分Anyone who believes a second is faster than a decade did not live live my life.
