Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foeris a 571-page hardcover published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York. Stated first edition of 2016. Signed Strand Edition. The condition is very good.
How do we fulfill out conflicting duties as father, husband, and son; wife and mother; child and adult? Jew and American? How can we claim our own identities when our lives are so closely linked to others'? These are the questions at the heart of Jonathan Safran Foer's first novel in eleven years--a work of extraordinary scope and heartbreaking intimacy.
Unfolding over four tumultuous weeks in present-day Washington, D.C., Here I Am is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. As Jacob and Julia Bloch and their three sons are forced to confront the distances between the lives they think they want and the lives they are living, a catastrophic earthquake sets in motion a quickly escalating conflict in the Middle East. At stake is the meaning oh home--and the fundamental question of how much aliveness one can bear.
