Everything Is Illuminated – Jonathan Safran Foer Actieprijs

Humor and pathos are deftly woven together in this remarkable New York Times best-seller that has won sweeping critical acclaim. Jonathan is a Jewish college student searching Europe for the one person he believes can explain his roots. Alex, a lover of America and unsurpassed butcher of the English language, is his lovable Ukrainian guide. On their quixotic quest, past and present merge-and hysterically funny moments collide with great tragedy.
