Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, 2005

 Item
Identifier: CC-43955-46066
Scope and Contents This is a tender, sad, briliant story of the inner life of a young boy after the death of his beloved father in the 9/11 tragedy of the Twin towers destruction in New York.From Publishers Weekly: Oskar Schell, hero of this brilliant follow-up to Foer's bestselling Everything Is Illuminated, is a nine-year-old amateur inventor, jewelry designer, astrophysicist, tambourine player and pacifist. Like the second-language narrator of Illuminated, Oskar turns his naïvely precocious vocabulary to the understanding of historical tragedy, as he searches New York for the lock that matches a mysterious key left by his father when he was killed in the September 11 attacks, a quest that intertwines with the story of his grandparents, whose lives were blighted by the firebombing of Dresden.

Georges Perec A Life in Words, 1993

 Item
Identifier: CC-27488-28536
Scope and Contents This biography of Georges Perec (1936-1982), novelist, poet, verbal gamesman, and master puzzler, whom Italo Calvino called, 'so singular a literary personality that he bears absolutely no resemblance to anyone else,' is very lucidly presented. The biographer, David Bellos, also the English translator of Perec's books, has written such an interesting book that it almost reads like a fictional account of Perec's life. It is extremely well researched and documented. Examples of Perec's typewriter art, which he did mostly while working as a technician in a Neurophysiology Laboratory in Paris are printed on pages 260 and 690. Alexander Laurence wrote the following book review printed on the Internet 1999.We're all familiar with the term "slacker" and characteristics of the twenty-nothings who populate Douglas Coupland's novel Generation X.
