Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between carnivore and vegetarian. As he became a husband and a father, he kept returning to two questions: Why do we eat animals? And would we eat them if we knew how they got on our dinner plates?Brilliantly synthesizing p...
This is one that I really felt out of the loop on. However, I'm now caught up. I was fortunate enough to read pretty much the entire book on the NYC subway. It's quite fun to pass by parts of New York as they get mentioned in the narrative. Really powerful voice with Oskar. He definitely shines most...
Man, did this book make me wear heavy boots. I'm probably going to be wearing them for a few days after finishing this.Oskar lost his father in the 9/11 attacks. Much like [b:The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time|1618|The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time|Mark Haddon|https:...

It took a while to overcome the trepidation of trusting JSF to write about a topic that relates to a personal bias of mine. Straight out - I wholeheart...
Hace aproximadamente un año decidí dejar de comer carne. No fue una decisión tomada a la ligera, sino la lógica evolución de algo que venía de largo. Hubo una serie de factores que me llevaron a ello y que no me gusta explicar porque además, a nada que expliques, la gente piensa que tratas de “conve...
Extremely beautiful and incredibly sad would be the most appropriate name. Back and forth, from present to past and from past to present, typical Safran Foer, we see life through the eyes of a child with a mission, a sculptor who doesn’t sculpts, a grandmother who was mother and sister before , we r...
