A lasting work of art
It is a testament to how serious a work of art "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" is that people are so passionate about it---both positively and negatively. Its newness, its incredible energy and inventiveness and risk-taking make it easy to fall in love with, and easy to hate. This book (which I have now read twice, and am about to start again) will live on past the conversation that now surrounds it. It's the kind of book that could actually make a difference in the world.
