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 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...
评分书中的小男孩最后走出了困境。我想,读书的人在和书中人物一起旅行过一段时间后,大概也会找到办法面对过往的伤痛。死去的人肯定会希望活着的人过得好。而活着的人应该珍惜生命,好好善待亲人和朋友。 这本书写得挺美的。结构虽然有点复杂但读起来并不困难(感觉也是...
