- “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” follows 9-year-old Oskar as he searches for answers after his father’s death in the September 11th attacks. It is part of a new literary canon of 9/11 literature - books used to dissect the trauma from that day. At its core, “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” is a story about grief. The singular, all-encompassing abandonment that only the death of a parent can create, and the shared, bewildering cataclysm that was and continues to be 9/11. Oskar is mourning the loss of his dad and the gaping hole in his city -- his home. For Oskar and the United States as a whole, 9/11 meant a loss of innocence, a shattering of safety, and a visceral reminder of mortality. “The point is not to create definitive versions. The point is to metabolize. That’s what literature does. And frankly, that’s what the conversations about literature should be doing,” says Safran Foer. “We live in an incredibly problematic, scary, oftentimes tragic, oftentimes really beautiful world.”

![EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE by Jonathan Safran Foer 🇺🇸 BOOK REVIEW [CC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NXS15iHDmZk/mqdefault.jpg)
I read this book in one night. I couldn't stop and I was changed after finishing.
With many, many libraries now offering e-book library cards to anyone no matter where they live, these ill advised book ban efforts are doomed to failure and justifiably so.
I cheered when I learned about those efforts
And banning books just makes people want to read them more. 😁
"I don't have anyone to ask" is different from "I don't have to ask anyone"
I noticed that.
Yep that's quite a big fuckup.
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" (along with "Catcher in the Rye") is one of my favorite books--a real page turner. I think using a young voice as the narrator strikes us in a more visceral way as it allows us to go back to our own childhoods and feel that angst and vulnerability.
This is a great book. Unbelieveable that it was banned!
If you like it, then it probably sucks
@@aishabintabubakr4944 lol butthurt much?
@@mytruecrimelibrary
I read Dostoevsky, not this crap
@@aishabintabubakr4944 😅😅😅

The fact you laugh at Dostoevsky proves that your opinion on books should not be considered
This is an awesome segment, Ali. The way the author describes writing and his the world needs more writers is so timely. We need to cultivate creativity and expression in our youth. They need competency in this area, as well as science and history. As you and Safan agree, these are challenging times, and we need to have ways to process incredible events and rapid change. Reading and writing are two of the simplest, most human, that we have to do this. Much respect to you both! 💜📚
Another great book about grieving a parent (among other things) is “In the Key of Us” by Mariama J. Lockington.
This is the first time I heard of this book.
Probably because it's 💩
@@aishabintabubakr4944 might wanna get that dent in your head checked out
Mr. Safran didn't mention the film, so I don't know how he feels about it. I didn't realize this was a book. It crossed my path a few years ago and I started watching. It's a quiet film, and I found it engaging from the start, beautifully done and with many special moments. And a top-tier cast of actors.
I watched the film after having read the book. IMHO this is one of those cases where the book is much better than the film.
@@PleaseDontEatAnimals Yes, that's often true, and depending on the book, it probably can't be helped. There are so many differences between the two genres, and different challenges, as well. I did like the film very much, though.
What a terrific interview.
Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory... In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man's freedom.

Good parents engage with their kids watching, reading and playing. These people need to stop wasting time banning books an focus on engaging with their children.
Love this club! Thanks, Ali!❤
Im sorry but I am still having a hard time with 9-11. I still cant watch the towers falling anymore than I did on the first day. It is so hard for probably BC I was in SF at the time. The day after it happened the headline on the Chronicle was,"Does San Francisco have Disaster Envy". The poultry turnout in Union Square for the firefighters in NYC... That day I decided to move back to Chicago. I think bc I was in SF I never got a chance to grieve with the rest of the nation. I didnt get to be with my brothers and sister's of our great nation. I got nothing. And so I went back home. In fact, "I was born very far from where I am supposed to be, so Im on my way home." Bob Dillon.
Excellent interview Ali!! Thank you both very much 👍
Kept a journal for many years. Referred to them often. Unfortunately when I became homeless they were all lost. Try to keep up with my daily writings, harder as my hands don't work so well.
If your device has speech to text, you can use that instead of typing.
I think that this is such a wonderful idea for identifying books others are frightened of, and to take this topic head-on regarding banned books. This ensures that as a liberal democracy we are open to ideas, to areas we may have difficulty accepting, and most importantly understanding our own internal biases, our own iceberg rules, that limit our insight and foresight.
Whenever I see a trans thing I just laugh and stare at them
I had a 77 firebird Trans Am, like the one in Smokey and the Bandit.
That must make you feel so good
@@AEnema111 Yeah, I'd stare at that gorgeous creation.
That's probably because you're a hateful and ignorant bigoted fascist
Again, we hear nothing but propaganda out of those networks. The book is available in libraries. Students can obtain a copy of the book should they so desire. The reason this book is ‘banned’, Is that it is not allowed to be used as a reference in class. So they are in available but because of some of its content it cannot be referred to as literature in a classroom setting.
Twitter scandal is being ignored.
Because it's dumb
Fiery but mostly peaceful protests. - Ali Velshi, Democrat 🤥🤥
My guess is they don’t like Ali bc he was on that show with Stephanie she wore that HM type shirt.
Remember when Kyrie Irving got suspended for recommending a book in one of his tweets?
LOL.
Way to totally miss the point of a passage that's a poignant demonstration of a kid morning that he no longer has a father to teach him things like the facts of life!
Stop grooming our children
Grooming for what? Independent thinking?
i love cambodian breast milk
So this is the kind of stuff republicans voters demand their selective Senators banned, gop leaders(IF THERE'S ANY)should tell the truth and let their voters knows right & wrong
Your selective ignorance is typical leftist hypocrisy. Go and get a job in the Kremlin.
You don't allow conservative writers to be published, yet you get mad when they ban books
Is it George Floyd Bill dead
The blue sheep need to wake up, help save America and it's future. Not saying vote red, saying cartel Biden needs to step down
Why do you lie so much?
@@MephilestehDarkness
Wow what an idiotic comment.
I love that your bringing reading to the for-front I'm an avid reader and have taught my kids the love of reading as well. You rock !!!! People need to know the truth-good bad and ugly it diminishes and vilifies CRT theory as well Thank you, Thank You !!! 🤩🙏📗📕📖
Those buildings burning behind Ali…”mostly peaceful”🔥💯🤣🖕🏽
