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.

我觉得压缩到现在的一半长会更好。情节其实很简单，即使叙事方式不断变化，简单的情节也撑不起那么长一本书，现在有一点滥情之嫌。

不知道怎么的很喜欢这本书 读来有些阴阴郁郁 那些故事好像平行线 而Oscar就如穿入的垂直钱 与每一条平行线相交 最后一往直前

书比电影好看太多。今早在公车上读到最后，真是忍了好久眼泪才没有掉下来。特别喜欢小男孩儿那些天马行空的“发明”。不过有几个单词出现频率高到有点儿让人烦= =

哭瞎的一塌糊涂。还没什么儿童视角的书可以这么打动我。心里脆弱的一面就这样被激发了。不只是911或者是德累斯顿大轰炸，更是情感的无处投递和无法交流。写作手法很棒，结局很美，当然也无比忧伤。
