onathan Safran Foer, author
of the award-winning
novel Extremely Loud &
Incredibly Close, comes to Michigan
to discuss his book about 9-year-old
Oskar Schell, who loses his father at
the World Trade Center and tries to
find the lock linked to a
mysterious key belonging
to his dad.
Foer addresses this
year's opening meeting
of the Greater Detroit
Chapter of Hadassah at
noon Tuesday, Sept. 12,
at Congregation Shaarey
Zedek in Southfield and
appears at 7 p.m. that day
at Berkley High School in
a session sponsored by
the Book Beat bookstore
in Oak Park.
"I like to give a talk that's interac-
tive — either with someone on stage
or with the audience," says Foer, 28,
who also will reference his first book,
Everything Is Illuminated, which is
about a young man searching for the
woman who may have saved his grand-
father from the Nazis.
"I like a program that responds to
what's going on in the world, in the
news, in the culture and in the com-
munity, and I always like question-
and-answer or conversational formats
better than prepared speeches!"
foer, whose family keeps Hadassah
mementos acquired by his late paternal
grandmother, thinks of his books as
reflections of the person he was when
he wrote them.
"I don't mean them as biographies':
he explains. "They are good records
of my imagination. If I were to write
the books today, I don't think I would
do them in the same ways. That's only
natural, because I've changed and the
world has changed.
"Literally speaking, my second
book doesn't correspond at all to my

personal experiences on 9-11.1 was in
Queens, not Manhattan, and I didn't
lose anybody, thank goodness.
"In a deeper sense, my experience
was like the story of the book, which
had so much to do with the desire
to be safe, to take back this horrible
thing that happened and to
be with family to say what
needs to be said."
Foer, married to novelist
Nicole Krauss and the father
of a 7-month-old son, does
not think of himself 'as a
religious person but thinks
he includes Jewish charac-
ters because that's what he
A
knows.
"Jewish culture has a lot
of sway on how I live my
life, whether it's the kind
of books I read or the kind of jokes I
tell or the kind of jokes I enjoy hear-
ing," says Foer, a Princeton philosophy
graduate who has appeared at the
annual Jewish Book Fair at the Jewish
Community Center in West Bloomfield.
"I always try to write the things
I want to read, and I'm working on
a number of different projects — a
novel, nonfiction and a Haggadah. "I
think the Haggadah could be the most
beautiful book in the world, but there
aren't any examples of it that I really
love."
