Recensione:

Praise for EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED:

"Not since...A Clockwork Orange has the English language been simultaneously mauled and energized with such brilliance and brio."―Francine Prose, New York Times Book Review

"Powerful...A veritable book of treasures."―Los Angeles Times Book Review

Praise for EATING ANIMALS:

"Stirring...compelling....Foer brings an invigorating moral clarity to the topic."―Entertainment Weekly

"One of the most important books I've ever read."―Ellen DeGeneres

"What makes Eating Animals so unusual is vegetarian Foer's empathy for human meat eaters, his willingness to let both factory farmers and food reform activists speak for themselves, and his talent for using humor to sweeten a sour argument."―O , The Oprah Magazine

Praise for THE MINISTRY OF SPECIAL CASES:

"Who is this Nathan Englander, so young in novelist years, but already possessed of an old masters voice?...One reads this novel in awe of Englander's talent."―New York Times Book Review

"[A] tour-de-force.... A few pages into The Ministry of Special Cases, it becomes clear how much [Englander] has to bring to the topic: pitch-black humor, a skeptical affection for his characters, and the narrative ability to trace the impact of fascism-with-a-modern-face on a cluster of lives."―The Seattle Times
