Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

This is simply the most superb book I've ever read. Beautifully written, gut-wrenching, clever, inventive, and imaginative. Oskar is the most lovable and loving character I've discovered in ages -- the pain and anger and imagination and confusion and passion are beautiful and charming and enthralling and always entirely real. The story here is secondary though also essential -- Foer seems to be able to keep us engaged throughout, locked to Oskar's quest and his discoveries, but what's of course always most important is the emotions of his characters. It's about flaws and the crippling strain of trauma and the gap between imagination and reality. It's really a beautiful book, and, perhaps despite appearances, one entirely without pretense. Really superb stuff. Easily the most deeply moving book I've ever read. I recommend it without even the slightest hesitation.

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.
