Search for truth unveils past complexities.

"Everything Is Illuminated" weaves together humor and pathos in a tale that is as much about the journey as it is the destination. Jonathan Safran Foer’s inventive storytelling and his play with language make for a read that not only confronts historical tragedies but also explores the intricacies of human connections. This book resonates with readers who appreciate a narrative that is both emotionally rich and linguistically playful.

Description

A young man arrives in the Ukraine, clutching in his hand a tattered photograph. He is searching for the woman who fifty years ago saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Unfortunately, however, he is aided in his quest by Alex, a translator with an uncanny ability to mangle English into bizarre new forms; a "blind" old man haunted by memories of the war; and an undersexed guide dog named Sammy Davis Jr, Jr. What they are looking for seems elusive - a truth hidden behind veils of time, language and the horrors of war. What they find turns all their worlds upside down...
