Jonathan Safran Foer
Gavin Esler meets Jonathan Safran Foer at the Cheltenham Literature Festival 2016 to hear about his return to fiction and discuss his latest novel's themes.
Jonathan Safran Foer's debut novel, 'Everything is Illuminated' won him exceptional reviews and it was named Book of the Year by Jay McInerney and Joyce Carol Oates. Not bad for a twenty-five year old. Now he's back, at the age of 39, with his third novel, 'Here I Am', already a bestseller in the U.S. Gavin Esler meets Jonathan Safran Foer at the Cheltenham Literature Festival to hear about his return to fiction after more than a decade's absence and to discuss the latest novel's themes, including thorny questions about family life, duty and personal happiness, but, above all, about being Jewish.
