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...

评分这是“9•11”当天,奥斯卡的父亲给奥斯卡的电话留言,父亲第六次打来时,奥斯卡其实在电话旁,但他没听,“我就是没办法让自己拿起电话”。这可能是人面对极端情况时很正常的反应。这可能也是他在父亲去世后那么悲痛的一个原因。所以他会那么疯狂地寻找与父亲有关的那把锁,...

评分Anyone who believes a second is faster than a decade did not live live my life.
评分哭瞎的一塌糊涂。还没什么儿童视角的书可以这么打动我。心里脆弱的一面就这样被激发了。不只是911或者是德累斯顿大轰炸,更是情感的无处投递和无法交流。写作手法很棒,结局很美,当然也无比忧伤。
评分Anyone who believes a second is faster than a decade did not live live my life.
评分he definitely uses way too much "crack up" and "heavy shoes".
