Oskar Shell gets heavy boots... Oskar e un copil de 9 ani de o inteligenta uimitoare dar si o sensibilitate fireasca pentru varsta lui. Personajul pare a fi rupt din pelicula nemteasca "Die Blechtrommel"(1979) si combinat cu un personaj din romanele lui Salinger. Naratiunea se petrece in mare parte dupa atacul de 11 septembrie dar se interpun mai multe povestiri in forma de scrisori care preceda evenimentul. Sirul celor trei povestitori (Oskar, bunicul si bunica) se intalneste la sfarsitul romanului. O carte care merita citata pentru adordarea originala a atacului 911 si a personajului creat cu maiestrie.
In 2012 urmeaza sa apara filmul omonim inspirat dupa romanul lui Safran Foer.
"Nine-year-old Oskar Schell is an inventor, amateur entomologist, Francophile, letter writer, pacifist, natural historian, percussionist, romantic, Great Explorer, jeweller, detective, vegan, and collector of butterflies. When his father is killed in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centre, Oskar sets out to solve the mystery of a key he discovers in his father's closet. It is a search which leads him into the lives of strangers, through the five boroughs of New York, into history, to the bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima, and on an inward journey which brings him ever closer to some kind of peace."
