Wednesday, March 23, 2005 As the charming, imaginative improbabilities piled up in "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," I began to think of another small and voluble survivor named Oskar: the narrator of Günter Grass' "The Tin Drum." His freakish story went far beyond Foer's in distorting reality, or overriding it altogether, and yet "The Tin Drum" confronted harsh, unresolvable facts in a way that felt not merely honest but inescapable. Foer's story wraps up all too tidily - with a sigh, of course, but also with a forgiving hug that's made for the movie cameras. -- Stuart Klawans reviews Jonathan Safran Foer's new novel in the New York Newsday. posted by Jonathan | 3:19 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
