Oskar Schell, a nine-year-old amateur inventor, jewelry designer, astrophysicist, tambourine player and pacifist, searches New York for the lock that matches a mysterious key left by his father when he was killed in the September 11 attacks. An adaptation of the Sept. 11-themed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer for Paramount and Warner Bros. with a script by Eric Roth (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button). The story centers on Oskar Schell, a nine-year-old amateur inventor, jewelry designer, astrophysicist, tambourine player and pacifist, as he searches New York for the lock that matches a mysterious key left by his father when he was killed in the September 11 attacks.
Critical response towards Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has been generally less positive than for Foer’s first novel; John Updike, writing for The New Yorker, found the second novel to be “thinner, overextended, and sentimentally watery”, stating that “the book’s hyperactive visual surface covers up a certain hollow monotony in its verbal drama”. In a New York Times review Michiko Kakutani said, “While it contains moments of shattering emotion and stunning virtuosity that attest to Mr. Foer’s myriad gifts as a writer, the novel as a whole feels simultaneously contrived and improvisatory, schematic and haphazard.”Kakutani also stated the book was “cloying” and identified the unsympathetic main character as a major issue. Harry Siegel, writing in New York Press, bluntly titled his review of the book “Extremely Cloying & Incredibly False: Why the author of Everything Is Illuminated is a fraud and a hack”, seeing Foer as an opportunist taking advantage of 9/11 “to make things important, to get paid” while also adding “The writers who make it get treated as symbols.
Whitehead gets compared to Ellison, because they’re both black; Lethem writes a book about race invisibility, but since he’s a white boy, no one thinks to mention Ellison. In the same vein, Foer is supposed to be our new Philip Roth, though his fortune-cookie syllogisms and pointless illustrations and typographical tricks don’t at all match up to or much resemble Roth even at his most inane. But Jews will be Jews, apparently.” Anis Shivani said similarly in a Huffington Post article entitled “The 15 Most Overrated Contemporary American Writers”, claiming Foer “Rode the 9/11-novel gravy train with Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, giving us a nine-year-old with the brain of a twenty-eight-year-old Jonathan Safran Foer”.
Despite several mediocre reviews, the novel was viewed positively in the eyes of several critics. The Herald said that it was a “wonderful” book and is filled with “creative and quirky thoughts”. The Spectator said that “Safran Foer is describing a suffering that spreads across continents and generations” and that the “book is a heartbreaker: tragic, funny, intensely moving”. The Financial Times thought the novel was “wise, funny and incredibly sad.”
