Beschreibung

Tree of Codes is a haunting new story by best-selling American writer, Jonathan Safran Foer. With a different die-cut on every page, Tree of Codes explores previously unchartered literary territory. Initially deemed impossible to make, the book is a first — as much a sculptural object as it is a work of masterful storytelling. Tree of Codes is the story of an enormous last day of life — as one character's life is chased to extinction, Foer multi-layers the story with immense, anxious, at times disorientating imagery, crossing both a sense of time and place, making the story of one person’s last day everyone’s story. Inspired to exhume a new story from an existing text, Jonathan Safran Foer has taken his "favorite" book, The Street of Crocodiles by Polish-Jewish writer Bruno Schulz, and used it as a canvas, cutting into and out of the pages, to arrive at an original new story told in Jonathan Safran Foer's own acclaimed voice.

I was lucky i found this book in our local bookstore after looking for it online for some time now. I just bought it yesterday and i am not sure i have figured it out yet. I was looking at it all evening yesterday without actually reading it because it looked so amazing and then i started reading it and couldn't, really. I was confused and it took me a while to figure it out. I finally read through it with just reading one page at a time without looking at the pages behind. Which was a short but beautiful read. I am going to read it again and again, trying to fit in more sentences and words and layers i guess. On the whole it felt more like a poem than a 'book', maybe because it is so short when you just read the few words on each page. I can def. say that i love this though and if you have a chance to look at it, please do! It is a bit more expensive than other paperback novels though, probably because it was not easy to make.
