On the surface\, Here I Am is the story of the fracturing of an American family. But in Foer’s hands and within the context of a global conflict\, a broader social breakdown\, and religious history\, it is so much more. It is an exploration of Jewish American identity; of our duties as fathers\, husbands\, and sons\, as wives and mothers\, as children and adults; of our obligations to ourselves and our obligations to others; and of faith in fallen world. Join us as we dig into Foer’s deeply thoughtful and inspiring new novel at this reading\, discussion\, and signing with the author. \n\n\nNote: This event takes place at Town Hall. \n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto (c) Jeff Mermelstein\nJonathan Safran Foer is the author of the bestseller Everything Is Illuminated\, named Book of the Year by the Los Angeles Times and the winner of numerous awards\, including the Guardian First Book Prize\, the National Jewish Book Award\, and the New York Public Library Young Lions Prize.
