   Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.   ) cspiwak | Mar 6, 2024 |  When it comes to sheer aesthetics, you can rely on Foer to string together some beautiful, playful sentences. And he has some careful, thoughtful things to say about marriage and family and home, and how they come together and fall apart. I am always humbled by how a writer can create something out of nothing, an entire world from words, scenarios that teach me something about life. JSF did so for me in this big messy book.

I thought the worst thing to say was the hardest thing to say. But it's actually pretty easy to say horrible things...it's even easier because we know exactly how bad the words are. There is nothing scary about them. Part of what makes something really hard to say is the not knowing...The hardest thing to say isn't a word or a sentence but an event...It requires the hardest person, or people, to say it to." The concept of an 'eruv' in cities to allow carrying on the sabbath was kind of neat also. ahovde01 | Apr 1, 2023 |  ) CarolKub | Jun 9, 2022 | ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: A monumental new audiobook from the bestselling author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer's Here I Am How do we fulfill our conflicting duties as father, husband, and son; wife and mother; child and adult? Jew and American? How can we claim our own identities when our lives are linked so closely to others'? These are the questions at the heart of Jonathan Safran Foer's first novel in eleven yearsâ??a work of extraordinary scope and heartbreaking intimacy. Unfolding over four tumultuous weeks in present-day Washington, D.C., Here I Am is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. As Jacob and Julia Bloch and their three sons are forced to confront the distances between the lives they think they want and the lives they are living, a catastrophic earthquake sets in motion a quickly escalating conflict in the Middle East. At stake is the meaning of homeâ??and the fundamental question of how much aliveness one can bear. Showcasing the same high-energy inventiveness, hilarious irreverence, and emotional urgency that readers and critics loved in his earlier work, Here I Am is Foer's most searching, hard-hitting, and grandly entertaining novel yet. It not only confirms Foer's stature as a dazzling literary talent but reveals a novelist who has fully come into his own as one of the most important writers in America Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
