I've decided, they're definitely gonna expose me! So, to write this review, I re-read the book these days: it was the third, fourth time. And for the third, fourth time, reading the chapter where Oskar talks to the guy in the office towards the end of the book, I got choked up. There you go. And I'm giving the book a 5 too. Take that.

Ah! The question of genres: so, as I believe you have understood, the book is about a rather special child who lost his father on September 11th, along with a good number of other characters. Nevertheless, it is not exactly a dramatic book. On the contrary. There are passages of rare grinning. This is somewhat Foer's trademark, Terry can confirm it: constantly mixing situations on the verge of the grotesque, of paradox, with flashes of great poetry and moments of pure comedy. On my personal page, you will actually find an excerpt from "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" (the part about the man who loses his words): so if you want, you can try to see "how this book sounds." @Telespalla: thank you so much, dear, you are very kind, but I confess I am not particularly satisfied with this page.. :)))

@Adder: regarding the "textual arrangement," I confess that, to be honest, I wanted to reproduce – within the limits of possibility – the layout frenzy that characterizes Foer’s books. Even in "Everything Is Illuminated," there were several pages where the text was placed diagonally or centered. In this book, however, it goes overboard. There are dozens of pages with not a single word written. Pages with images to flip through quickly. Pages where multiple texts overlap. etc., etc. Unfortunately, I recognize that the result is not exactly what I had in mind!! :DDD @Terry: let's put it this way: "Everything Is Illuminated," especially at the beginning, seems a bit twisted and you don’t really know where it’s heading (although in the end, I think I cried like a baby the week before Easter...). This one, while maintaining the multiplicity of narrative (spatio-temporal) layers, is more linear. Everyone I’ve had read both preferred this one...

Vinyls bought online? Until today, I’ve been too afraid. The fear of possibly munching on a record I paid a pretty penny for while sitting on the couch in front of the television, with the risk of making a mess with the crumbs, has been stronger.

@Lewis: very good! I still don't know either what time I'll arrive, or if I can stop by home to change. So, if you happen to see a penguin in a suit and tie approaching you in a friendly manner, don't immediately think it's an Infostrada promoter trying to sell you a new rate plan! :))

You're right: the best of the three they've released so far. The others were really a bit too "predictable." As I've said on other occasions: I think the influence of Stefan from Colour Haze has been quite significant here. Not that it's a bad thing, for heaven's sake.. on the contrary, if the new Colour Haze had sounded like this, I wouldn't have minded at all. P.S.: is anyone going to see Sonic Youth tonight?

But can you believe it! If you check, I don't think I've ever given less than a "5" on your past reviews. I don't know three-quarters of the groups you mention. I said I don't like this review. Period. When another user compared you to someone who should have had a subscription to literary cases and couldn’t put together subject-verb-object, I felt compelled to disagree, that's all. I understand the understatement at all costs, but seeing sarcasm even in a comment that defends you seems almost paradoxical to me. Especially in light of my judgments/comments on your writings up until now. Think what the hell you want. I'm going to smoke.
