Jonathan Safran Foer answers reader questions, chats
Jonathan Safran Foer posted an excerpt from Extremely Loudand Incredibly Close at Gather.com (one of those social journalism sites), and readers left comments. A few days later he came back and answered some questions about the book. Writes Foer:My parents have a photograph of me on their refrigerator. I'm about six years old, asleep on the sofa, wearing a plaid blazer, a blue sequined bowtie, and rings on each of my ten fingers. Apparently, the look was indicative of my sense of fashion for about a year. That photograph was one of my major sources of inspiration for Oskar.Foer will also be doing a live "Ask the Author" session at Gather on June 23.
I'd never heard of Gather.com before I got an email about this from someone there. The site's a little too frenzied for me -- I'm having trouble figuring out what it's all about -- but the Foer thing looks pretty cool.
