Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer follows nine-year-old Oskar Schell, an unusually perceptive and imaginative boy, as he navigates New York City in the aftermath of his father’s death in the 9/11 attacks. When Oskar discovers a mysterious key among his father’s belongings, he embarks on a citywide quest to uncover its origin—meeting a wide array of strangers whose own stories of grief and resilience mirror his own. Blending emotional depth with inventive narrative techniques, the novel explores themes of trauma, memory, and human connection. At once heartbreaking and hopeful, it offers a moving portrait of a child’s search for meaning in the wake of unimaginable loss.
