To celebrate the release of the Oscar-nominated film, The Guardian (a UK newspaper) is giving away the audiobook edition of
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (
$7.03 Kindle; $14.95
Audible), by Jonathan Safran Foer. The offer is only valid thru midnight, tonight, in the UK.
Book Description
Jonathan Safran Foer follows his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated, with an unexpectedly hilarious and affecting story about New York City in the period following September 11
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close recasts recent history through the eyes of Oskar Schell, an unusually intelligent nine-year-old on an urgent quest to find the lock that matches a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center. This unlikely adventure takes Oskar through every city borough and into contact with survivors of all sorts, and it's his irrepressible voice—one that few writers could conceive as imaginatively as Foer does—that transforms the tragedy of circumstance into an exhilarating tribute to love.
