About This Book
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has been one of the most discussed,
acclaimed, and debated novels in recent memory. And with good reasons
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted, "Jonathan Safran Foer has done
something both masterful and absolutely necessary: he has written the
first great novel about September 11." Foer confronts a subject few
writers have dared approach, and what he discovers is solace in that
most human quality, imagination. Nine-year-old Oskar Schell is on a
mission to find the lock that matches 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. As
he roams the five boroughs, Oskar encounters a motley assortment of
people who are all survivors in their own way. His journey concludes in
an emotional climax of truth, beauty, and heartbreak. In Extremely Loud
and Incredibly Close, Foer once again demonstrates his ability to evoke
and unravel the most personal and complex matters of the heart.
