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.

评分将《特别响,非常近》视做9•11小说,未免小瞧了它。没错,其故事源头与背景是那场惨绝人寰的悲剧,人物的痛楚与悲伤亦环绕之,但作家乔纳森•萨福兰•弗尔显然未将自己的创作拘囿于一个固定事件的限定中,他借一名孩童的寻觅之途,延展开去,探究着更具普泛性的肉身与...
评分刊于《经济观察报》书评 (2012/7/3) “他把一张空白的纸放在面前的桌上,用他的笔写下这些词。”这是保罗·奥斯特在《记忆之书》中写下的开头。十几年后的一天,他收到一封来自另一位美国青年作家的信,不是索要签名,仅仅希望得到一张他用以书写下一部作品的白纸。奥斯特...
评分 评分天马行空是来形容作者的文字的,至少前几章是这样的,它让我一度开始觉得是在挑战自己的智商,因为实在不知道它在说什么,但是却有种酣畅淋漓的感觉,继续往后读,相信你会体会到那种疯狂,那种内心压抑着急需用某种方式来释放的情感。 所谓物极必反,无论是痛苦还是快乐亦或任...
I cried when reading this book.
评分时差还没倒清楚,早上五点就睡不着,还是慢慢把书看完了。书跟电影真是差大发了……完全就是两个东西……看书的时候真的也泪目了,却不是全因为小男孩。奶奶和renter的故事写的太好了,电影完全可以展现出更多的
