Everything Is Illuminated
by Jonathan Safron Foer
read: 2013
Guardian 1000 Novels
It's not that I didn't like Everything Is Illuminated ... it's just that it seemed very calculated, like it was trying to appeal to me. The humor, the epic sweep of history, the moments of emotional poignance, the family connections, memory, loss, love, tragedy ... it's all there. But it felt a bit contrived. It's the same problem I have with Zooey Deschanel.
