Everything Is Illuminated
by Jonathan Safran Foer, 2003
ISBN 0060529709
With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man -- also named Jonathan Safran Foer -- sets out to find the woman who may or may not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war; an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior; and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.

Zach B on February 8, 2010 at 7:22pmZach B liked and commented on Everything Is Illuminated on getglue.comI'm a fan- the way he changes his language by chapter makes for a very cool modern book, but it's sometimes a little much for me

I loved the mixing of narratives and voices and couldn't help but love the depth of the characters. And the fact that the dog's name is Sammy Davis Junior, Jr. cracked me up every time.

A terrific debut, introducing a new type of voice to the world, one that renders just another journey into an insistently distinct voyage of discovery.
