Everything is Illuminated
Title: Jonathan Safran Foer
Author: Everything is Illuminated
Jonathan Safran Foer uses three voices in this book. One of a translator writing to his client back in the United State. The second is the same translator writing the story of their journey together and the third is the client back in the states writing his personal history which he discovered on his journey with the translator. I enjoyed the contrast of the mythic proportions of the historical story with the down to earth details of the journey. Its a very different book and I recommend it if you are looking for something new and different to read.
