Publisher Comments:

Wildly inventive and moving follow-up to the acclaimed and award-winning "Everything Is Illuminated". When nine-year-old Oskar's father is killed in the September 11th attacks, he begins a journey through five boroughs of New York as he attempts to solve the mystery of a key he discovers in his father's closet.

This could very well be one of the most well written books in our century. It is not so much about 9/11 as it is the days that followed. Safra has captured the voice of a child in his writing, but the book is still written for an adult to read. It is also visually stunning, as the words on the page become artwork for the story, sometimes one word on a page, sometimes so many it can't be read.
