He's also a boy struggling to come to terms with his father's death in the World Trade Center attacks. As he searches New York City for the lock that fits a mysterious key his father left behind, Oskar discovers much more than he could have imagined. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a masterfully imagined novel from an author Time hails as "a certified wunderkind". Critic Reviews: "Piercing and so funny." (The Bookseller) "[Oskar's] first-person narration of his journey is arrestingly beautiful, and readers won't soon forget him." (Booklist) "Jonathan Safran Foer's second novel is everything one hoped it would be: ambitious, pyrotechnic, riddling, and above all...extremely moving. An exceptional achievement." (Salman Rushdie) "Brilliant....Unafraid to show his traumatized characters' constant groping for emotional catharsis, Foer demonstrates once again that he is one of the few contemporary writers willing to risk sentimentalism in order to address great questions of truth, love, and beauty." (Publishers Weekly)
