Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
by

This is an incredibly heart-breaking book set in a post-9/11 New York and starring a tender young boy searching for proof that his father survived the collapse of the World Trade Center. A very personal, very human, look at an event and it's aftermath that is truly refreshing after the past four years of watching this genuine tragedy become an over-politicized hot button used to justify ever increasing power grabs. Safran Foer reminds us that at the bottom of these global elements and lofty ideological struggles between "freedom" and "submission to God" there are people. Simply people as flawed and beautiful and frail as everyone else.
