When I went to visit my sister in Boston she handed me a present. Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated, visited Boston College. She tells me she heard the guy was on campus and had nothing else to do at the time so she stopped in and heard him talk a bit. While she was there, she picked up a copy of his new book Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close and got it signed for me. What a great sister!
